And on that note of things speeding up, they have installed the first section of road deck today. I was surprised to even see them working with the weather forecast today!

I will say that it is definitely moving quickly compared to how most roads projects move.

Can someone give me or link me a summary of what's happening in this project. Is it just maintenance of the structures that support the highway? Are they reducing/increasing or replacing the structure in sections? Is the goal to increase/reduce the capacity of the Gardiner or just to rebuild the same structure that was in dire need of repair?
I've seen photos at different sections of the Gardiner which all suggest different things.

Construction of the Gardiner Section 2 from Dufferin Street to Strachan Avenue began in November 2023 and is anticipated to be completed mid-2027. About the Project The F.G. Gardiner Expressway has been in service for more than 60 years and with the effects of weathering, salt and increasing...

They are replacing what is there with no increase or reduction of capacity. Presumably this time it will be more salt tolerant, IIRC the original was built when we either didn't salt in the winter or just used a lot less than now.

Think of it as a 4-stage complete rebuild of the gardiner, its not an expansion, nor is it a rehabilitation, its a complete rebuild.
