In this case it's a matter of jurisdiction. The Eastern Ave bridge is City owned while Evans Ave over the QEW is owned by the MTO.

There's been no change to the amount of westbound lanes as part of this shift. There are only 4 mainline lanes between the 427 and Dixie Road. Although following the 427 and Evans/West Mall on-ramps there is an additional merge lane from the ramps nor would it be wie to categorize those as a 5th...

I don't know the exact reason and as far as I know the City has not publicly stated the reason for it (in a corporate report, media release or otherwise). Surely it's something that would have caught media attention in Toronto, but us Mississaugans are SOL. In September 2024 the General...

I'm sure it was a typo, but as the article states the money owed to the subcontractor was $2.7 million, not billion. As far as this rumour goes about BOT being removed from the project, on my way into work this morning I decided to go up Hurontario to see how things are coming along. I tend to...

I am quite certain I have seen BOT crews working on the project in the last week, so that would be surprising. I am also skeptical to say the least. Even if this is true it would be worth taking note that BOT is the smallest stakeholder of the construction team at Mobilinx and is predominantly...

Tear down of the parking structure began on January 2nd, they've started from the south end. Given the progress they've made so far I would not be surprised to see the structure completely torn down in 2 weeks time.

I haven't gone through all of the routes with extra trips added yet, but on the 4 it amounts to a single extra trip to serve high school students. I suspect many of the extras are in fact just an extra or two to serve high school students.

I have to admit on the face it doesn't look like all that much. Don't be deceived however, Brampton is rolling out a huge service hour increase as far as weekday service goes. The weekend increases are not exactly huge, but not exactly the biggest deal as the July changes were huge for Saturday...

The changes to the route 5 are indeed very disappointing. As usual MiWay's service change notices are inconsistent and lacking in detail. Although an additional bus is added in the PM peak the impact of shortened blocks results in a loss of 14.83 daily vehicle hours (3,737.16 hours annually)...

BOT has been handling the roadway related work (curb/median removal & roadway widening) with Pave-Al Ltd handling the asphalt laying portion of the works. I imagine BOT will be handling bridge structure work as they're big into that. Amico has been handling all of the watermain and sewer...

I can attest that the majority of the AM peak inbound riders get off at Aukland and make the walk down to Kipling via the narrow sidewalk on the W/side of Aukland S/of Dundas. While perhaps BjamesT's use of the word 'permenant' to describe this phenomenon is confusing, not once did he dispute...

That really depends on how you look at it. Request for qualifications (RFQ, not to be confused with Request For Quotations) were issued in April 2017 and qualified proponents were selected in September of that same year. There was a 5 month delay getting the Request for proposals out, but the...

They won't be reconstructing Kipling right away, they'll place a thick layer of soil down to protect the roadway surface from the tracks of the excavators and falling debris from the bridge demolition so the roadway can reopen as scheduled. Keep in mind that they only brought down the bridge...

Consider what you're saying here, you claim you have information that isn't public and doesn't go on the website, but also that you haven't checked the website in some time. Let's keep in mind that what you posted is information about construction work, an activity that is generally disruptive...

A certain member here seems to think they're privy to this sort of stuff or doing us all a favour and the irony is that that wasn't even a complete list of all the work that started yesterday. The original content can be found here under construction updates...
