Bring your cameras and chair to Front St next to the Lakeshore line starting at 10:30 pm Sat night to watch crew move the erected on site 400+ ton new track 1 bridge into position over the Port Credit River in Mississauga.
Crews were setting up the hoisting system on both sides of the river as well under the ends of the bridge.
The move is to start around 1am Sat night and to be completed by 5am. CN will bring the flatcars in early that night that will be use to move the bridge from where it is to the current bridge.
There are 2 500ton cranes in positions also.
Since the last westbound train has to pass this area on the last run of the night around 1:08am, does GO plan to terminate the train at Port Credit and bus riders to the other station to the west? Or does GO train carry on to the west and layover at Aldershot?
Not an every day event and in all my years in construction, this will be something to be seen.
Southdown Bridge:
CN will be erecting the new track 1 bridge over Southdown Rd 8pm Sat Aug 23rd. Southdown will be close to all traffic Sat to Sunday. I expect MT will stop all buses going north of the bridge and setup a stop in the north parking lot.
Oakville:
More area has been clear for the new track 1 at the west end of Oakville Station. I expect to see trains using the new track 1 over the new 16 Mile Creek bridge this fall.
