April 29
I decided to take a walking tour of the Eastgate section to see how the camera was working after it 3rd repair and the poor shots I got on Thursday.
Still an issue with it and a good thing I didn't do the plan City tour around Toronto as it would be a waste.
I was surprised that somethings are still the same after a year and the section between Sq One and Eastgate/Fieldgate will be only open late fall 2013. Never check Eglinton, but nothing was going on from what I could see or have seen the last few weeks.
Various sections of the ROW is in place with 3 sub based coats of asphalt.
Central Parkway overpass is almost completed to the point the structural steel is almost completed for the westbound station. The sidewalk on the flyover is wide enough for riders to use to get to the west side of the road. Not sure if a ramp system will be use to get riders to/from the street. There is going to be traffic signal at street level.
The flyunder connecting to/from the 403 west of Cawthra is almost completed to the point the westbound lanes should be back in their original position by the summer. Once that happens, then the current eastbound lanes will be relocated to the north to use the new flyover and that should be completed by the fall.
The southbound lanes for Cawthra should be relocated to the new flyover should be open by the summer and this will complete the Cawthra road work.
The Cawthra Station is not setup for walk-in traffic, as it a long walk to it. Ramp system will be used to get riders from one side to the other side with a tunnel under the station.
No bridge over the creek yet.
The east side retaining wall for the flyover at Tomken Rd is been form, but nothing yet for the west side. Part of the Tomken station is in place.
Crews were busy working on installing new sewer and waterline at Dixie Rd well the intersection was partly close this weekend. A good section on the retaining wall for the flyunder station for Dixie Rd is almost completed to the point that steel framing for the eastbound section is setting on trailers to be install sometime this month.
Dixie Rd was not setup to close part of the road to start building the first section on the underpass.
The section east of Dixie Rd to Fieldgate hasn't change in the last year with the new overpass bridge still not built.
The remaining ROW land is still the same to Eglinton as well to the east.
There is over 200+ photos up on site.
