April 8
I wonder what will happen to all the extra foam blocks that at stack-up on Hurontario St since there no other area that needs them with the Rathburn ramp in place that is waiting a concrete base to be pour for it.

This leave only a small section of guideway to be built from the ramp to the west side of Station Gate unless there is a change for it that is part of the loop expansion, Now new light poles are now in the new location, work can start on that guideway considering it was supposed in 2024 along with the Square One Station on the east side of Station Gates

Glad to see as per @drum118 that the Topflight area has been completed. I still have to inspect the OMSF area to see if they've reworked a specific area around the bus hub that used to have pylons all over it with no concrete poured.

On my drive this morning I noted the following:

1. Crews have been busy pouring concrete for the drainage / closest to the road around Hurontario / Steeles to Hurontario / Lancashire.
2. Between Lancashire / Sir Lou, concrete has been poured for the sections closest to the road. There's a section that has not been touched for the fire department to head NB which will more than likely see work done last.
3. Sir Lou to the courthouse entry has seen the guideway dug up with more work to be done. It's either here or the previous section in #2 that trench boxes have been moved to for more work to be completed below.
4. Hurontario / County Ct / Ray Lawson - We're on the 3rd phase of storm drain work which involves no left turns through any of the intersections at all. Lanes have been fully shifted over so there are no more pylons guiding vehicles in awkward positions, it's one straight line from County Ct to Steeles. The remaining section on the N/B side of the intersection that was cautioned off awkwardly has now been made a box and is ready to be dug up for guideway construction once the storm drain work is complete.
5. S/B from intersections in #4 towards the 407, guideway construction continues with much concrete being poured for the area.

I'm impressed with the amount of work getting done, but remain ambivalent that the work will be done by October. We all know something is going to happen and they're going to have to push additional work into the new year, so we'll see what the future brings.

Given the extra cost to do the LRT, it been kick down the road if Brampton wants the BRT first. Brampton has to decide and deal with a longer timeframe as to which line they want to see built first and seeing the others not happing any time soon. For Mount Pleasant, I thought they already had that service today from what I have seen unless they are talking about a 4th track.

Metrolinx/Province have run out of money to build the transit system they want to build as a large part will start to show up on the books in the coning decades for the P3 project that are not related to transit as well the transit ones.

The OMSF guideway is done and photos will be up shortly along with other Brampton shoots. Pouring of the guideway curb could easy started on Tuesday from what we saw on Monday.

If you had waited a day, you'd see that The Paisley / Hurontario inetersection will actually be closed tomorrow at 10PM to May 18th at 10PM for guideway / track work within the intersection.

Ray Lawson / Hurontario has some more storm drain work that needs to be completed before they can shift the remaining lanes over. It'll be happening from April 10th to April 20th and will occur in three phases to keep traffic moving.

Has anyone been around Bronte College / Hurontario to see the progress on the track installation there?

Not sure if it happened on schedule, but was driving Hurontario yesterday and can confirm the Paisley intersection is closed now.

Over 100 photos are now on line with a large number for Brampton guideway

Part 1
Northbound lanes where reopen when we when south hours later and were stripped

All guideway sections from Sir Low to is stake for concrete curb to be pour other that the left turn lane area.

Unless there is an change to Sir Lou And the plaza/courthouse, all 7 intersections from Steeles to the south of the 407 bridge will be done in two phases over two months. Lancashire Ln south curb is now square at Main now

Looking south from Steeles For The station area and work getting the area ready for the guideway curb with rebar frame in place for the os poles foundation

Sad to see this as a storage area and not the station area

Good to know. Another one to look out for is Hurontario / John Street just outside of Cooksville Go. That one is set to close April 22nd to May 27th for the same thing.

There's also Hurontario / Pinewood Trail / Indian Valley Trail from April 17th to May 25th.

Part 2
No idea why this section of the northbound track still not pour since the interstation for Topflight open In June 2025

Only a short section of the guideway south of the 407 off ramp needing utility work before the curbs for the other haft of the guideway to Topflight can be pour. Once poured, all of the guideway base can be pour.

The guideway on both side of the 407 is ready for the missing curb to be pour that will allow the base to be pour for them

The last section of the northbound guideway will be compact by the 15th to allow all the guideway base to be pour from south of Ray Lawson to the Hwy 407 off ramp. All centre curb in place as well with OS poles foundations poured.

No idea why the guideways between Sir Lou and Ray Lawson not fully dug out with rebar frame in for the OS poles foundation

Will closed-door meeting provide completion date for $4.6B LRT line in Mississauga?​

The day turnout to be a very information day that confirmed what I have been saying for the year and a possible change to the pull testing. Due to the weather I ended up shooting some of the corridor that wasn't on my do list this month.

There are three different name track crews doing the work but two are own by the same company. All track work is to be completed by December this year that includes stress testing of the rails along with a number of other things. Track work to start in May for the 407 bridge, Pinewood and to the PC station as well new areas. Track crews will be working 7 days a week.

The work for Britannia intersection rework is supposedly mostly concrete work.

May will see the insulation of the overhead system starting at the OMSF along with work on the various OS poles missing or needing other work ahead of the string the OS. it been said that the pull test maybe replace with a power walking test with most or all overhead in place by year end.

Concrete is poured for the tracks between Matthew Gate and Burnhamthorpe that is waiting for the topcoat for the whole block to be pour for it.

Northbound lanes reduced to a single lane as crews were digging up the road next to the guideway for new manhole cover frames in various areas.

All track work between John St and Hillcrest fully pour in place.

The substation area west of Hurontario St on John St is ready for the arrival of the substation.

Very little has been done for the crossover track work south of Hillcrest since I last saw it.

Mobile sign for northbound traffic saying no left turn at John St starting April 23rd and saw none for the southbound

Duct work taking place on the west side of Hurontario St from Dundas St to Agnes.

All concrete poured for the tracks from King St to the southside of Floradale with track crew working on the next section toward Paisley

Looks like Paisley intersection looks ready for concrete curb to be pour follow by the base pouring/

Once Paisley intersection is done, the rest of the tracks south of it will see final work on the tracks along with forming down to the fire station driveway.

Looks like north-south tracks being installed for the wye are where the barrier wall still has to be built.

Grading of the area for the Hwy 403 ramp to Hurontario to allow landscaping.

Saw a number of cars for the ramp to Hurontario area but saw no one until I was leaving when a surveyor truck pull in.

The area from the ramp to Hurontario as well the guideway on Hurontario St has the base poured for it and waiting track work. The bullnose curb between the guideway entering Hurontario St guideway and part of the protection for the northbound traffic is inline with the south off ramp lane for Hwy 403. we will most likely see southbound traffic shift back to its nominal lanes by June. The east side curb for the Hwy 403 on ramp is poured and cover up.

What I have seen this month, 2028 will see us riding the line at some point with full testing while underway in 2027.
