Why not sooner? Just pave it. It's not like it need magic pixie dust or something. It's just a road.

First, I'm not the project manager, so I can't speak to all the details to which said party would have access and I do not.

Second, you can see that the sidewalks aren't ready, the traffic lights probably aren't ready, no landscaping has been done either, and crews have schedules to adhere to and other work to do.

So if you paved the road surface tomorrow, the road would not open. Then you'd just be hopping up and down about that, LOL
 
Once the bridge is removed it looks like Old Cherry Street will end at Villiers on the north end and Commissioners on the south end. Hopefully they'll rename it. Old Cherry right next to Cherry is a bit goofy.

The original swing bridge was made of wood, and only carried a single rail line, operated by the Grand Trunk Railway. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherry_Street_lift_bridge
