GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

Are you guys able to just write down the location or brief description of the photos you're posting? I tried google mapping "Woods" and I still couldn't locate this project. I have no idea which project I'm looking at.
Looks like your post is the final post of 2024.

EDIT: Figured out it's Dundas & Logan.
LOL, I just did the exact same thing 😝

I was intrigued to research whether Woods Canada still had a manufacturing presence but it seems it is just a legacy building.
 
Happy New Year!

It's neat to see the (former?) Woods factory. My first sleeping bag as a kid was from Woods and it remains the most comfortable and warmest I've ever owned.

It has also been neat to see the incremental construction at Long Branch from the train each day.
 
Metrolinx crews are working at the Logan Avenue bridge to prepare for bridge girder installation scheduled for this month.

Construction will take place during the daytime from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is expected to finish by Saturday, January 4th.

This work is required to prepare for the Logan Avenue road closure and bridge girder installation scheduled for January 17th to 20th.

Read Metrolinx's construction notice for more details.
 
Current state of the Burloak Drive underpass on LW:

Whatever I read it. While I'm sure the life of the bridge was the motivating factor, it's notable that "a higher clearance over the tracks...will allow for future electrification of the rail corridor." One less non-compliant structure gone. I know there were quite a few a decade ago.

I was also cruising some Hydro One reports for unrelated purposes, noticed this as well:

In a Needs Assessment Report from last month:

Metrolinx Traction Power Substation (TPSS) is proposed to be in service in 2029.
 
I did read the article. Thank you. For those who did not, this is about the Drury Lane pedestrian bridge replacement in Burlington.
This is a link to the Metrolinx construction notice on which I think the article is based. The gist of it is that the pedestrian bridge will be removed between March 7th and March 10th. It does not say how long it will take to be replaced.

This Metrolinx press release from 2019 adds a little more detail. It says that the replacement is because of the 52-year age of the bridge, to make it more accessible, and as @Metroscapes notes, to raise the height of the new bridge for electrification. The 2019 Metrolinx article says the new bridge will be at least 7.4 metres versus 6.8 metres for the current bridge.

(EDIT: This Burlington city council document from 2022 says that the bridge would be replaced starting March 5, 2024, and re-open in January 2025. Presumably, they pushed construction back a year, but if that construction time is still valid, the work will be done by January 2026. It says the city has been advised that they will be responsible for $2.6 million of the cost, with the remaining cost, and any overruns being borne by Metrolinx).
