From
@Tim photos, the box is almost haft way into position and clearer than seen from the ground.
Still a number of hours of digging for the eastbound lanes to allow the box to be place in that area.
A number of last minute work was added to this closure from repaving the overpass for lane expansion, storm water system under the overpass and other things.
Traffic was flowing very well through the area with 18 wheelers having to slow down to make the turn going eastbound.
QEW a parking lot going west, east of Cawthra and was told it was happening close to Mississauga Rd for eastbound.
South service was a parking lot going east at Cawthra when I went south on Cawthra with Cawthra slow going in both direction. Atwater was slow and backup 3/4 west of Cawthra. Going north a few hours later, the South Service Rd still a parking lot and the police have close the westbound lanes off as too much traffic trying to get to Hurontario.
Traffic was light going north at the Service Rd with a number doing U-turns. Same can be said for the southbound at the North Service Rd. A lot of traffic going west of Hurontario thinking they could get onto the QEW sooner only to find out that they will have to go up to Dundas to go west to either Mississauga Rd or Erin Mills to get back onto the QEW.
Transit was sucking badly, considering there were supposed to be more buses added to Route. Buses were showing up every 25 minutes in place of 15 to the point the 40' buses were at peak to crush loads. Only saw twice were a 40 and 60 were playing follow the leader. The 2 was to go east on the South Service Rd, but was move to Atwater. Even the 8 was running late to the point they were almost down a bus for headway.
Communication was a missing point for this mess from all levels to the point cycles were showing up and had no idea that the QEW was close as well a few pedestrians.
