Interesting. So does that wall continually get pulled out and moved as they fill more in. Or do they leave each wall section in place?

Not sure I understand you. The new dock-wall (the steel piles is "it" and they are in the final stages of filling in behind it and putting rocks on the lake side as fish habitat. The Parliament Slip remains, only rectangular not with a 'pointy bit' on north-east corner. Queens Quay will now be extended eastwards and Parliament will be realigned so they meet at about 90 degrees.

And I believe that I read on the WT site that QQE will be built to the ‘new’ design.

Ah gotcha. So they're just filling in the little top triangle part. Not the whole thing down to the lake. Nice.

I have heard that there is a plan for the Victory Silos that involves the private sector and it will be super interesting! Lips sealed!

Aww...come on, tell us! What's a few sunken ships anyways?

That area will have a really good vibe once it’s all done.

@hawc has great pic of the slip on the Aqualuna thread. https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threa...t-bayside-61-87m-18s-tridel-3xn.27592/page-45

Here or the 3C thread. Btw I have heard the plan for the silos is to put a hotel on top similar to what is being done in Collingwood.

Progress? Hard to tell.

Not sure what this signifies. Taken 26 September.

Yes I saw that too and also wondered. In the photo above from @hawc there still seems to be water inside their coffer dam area so they may still be adding 'fill'.

 

[rdaner]

^Possibly. It did seem that the machine was drilling.

The WT Board documents for their meeting next week note:

Construction continues to fill in the head of Parliament Slip and create a new dockwall. Current work includes the placement of infill material and the installation of rock berm and will enable the extension of Queens Quay East and realignment of Parliament Street to support the future road network and planned light rail transit in the area. Construction is expected to be complete by January 2025.
