Heck, I'd love it if they opened it up for a walk before traffic gets moved over.

Will the hollow parts of the track beds get filled in? Will they be used for utilities or stormwater drainage?
Might be fun for future urban explorers or DoorsOpen Toronto events? /s

@ProjectEnd we'll soon need you to move condos to have visibility to the installation of the next spans!!
I hear there's a recession coming, now's the best time to invest in a second condo, do you know what I mean?

I don't know but likely stormwater drainage and signalling/communications cabling.

The lower right is where a weird little gated underpass used to go beneath the tracks. It sat abandoned and filled with water up to the 2000s but was filled in before the days of streetview.

You mean the Paton road underpass? It wasn't filled in until a couple years ago.
We discussed this earlier in this thread.

The forming for the new Paton underpass went in within the last few days. It looks quite large enough.
If the question was - will the guideway have holes - my understanding is that while each track is clearly a solid ”roof”, the space between the two trackbeds will remain as open air

Correct, reaper, the underpass connected Paton. In the lower right of my picture is Antler. Oddly enough, it wasn't as filled with detritus as one may think - I stuck my phone in some of the holes in the concrete and it actually looked fairly clean.

Bi level? Naw dawg you need to go all out and take the Canadian and ride in the dome car for the great views. Book the trip to Vancouver or just Washago if you’re cheap.

Speaking of Paton, I snapped this pic on Sunday but didn't post it because the lighting was kind of weird. But I figured some might want to see how it's progressing.

Yes, thanks! It's been a lot of years and I misremembered.

Sorry, off topic, but that Paton Road pedestrian underpass really got me thinking about this - the now gone Union Station underpass under the Moat from the subway station to the Bay Concourse (about where McD’s was).

Man, that takes me back. I haven't been on Infiltration in awhile, but I used to devour that website in the early 2000s when working at the library at U of T. Thanks for the nice reminder of a simpler time, @mind_the_gap!
And yes, RIP Ninjalicious. A kind soul, taken far too early.
