East Don Trail Project

[TwoWheelPoli]

Checked out the trail earlier today and noticed the base asphalt layer is in, but still nothing for that bridge ramp. I asked a couple of workers there and they said maybe within the next one to two weeks for the bridge ramp, but the final asphalt layer won't be done until next year.

Great news about the asphalt. Sure does take a long time to assemble those ramps, though.

Not uncommon to allow the bottom layer of asphalt to 'cure' for a while (particularly if they still have heavy machinery around) but the bridge ramp does seem rather slow.

Is the bridge at the Forks the final one or will a Corten Steel one be slid onto the existing supports at the end of the project??
