Finally found time to check somethings out that I have not seen in the last 4/5 months.
Bloor:
Forming is underway for the new entrance and road bed mats are on site.
No work on the platforms has taken place since my last visit, but some rebar in the ground south of the current temporary platform.
Old Weston Rd/Diamond
The tops of the 2 retaining walls are complete with bracing in place.
Some work has started on the west retaining wall for tunnel 2 south of CP tracks. The retaining wall on the Old Weston Rd bridge has yet to be finish.
I understand most of the floor and all the retaining walls in the tunnel 1 has yet to be pour. If this is the case, then moving the current line to the flyunder will not take place in March as plan. The walls still can be pour once the the line is move since there will be no trains there during the day like there is now and no big deal.
The one thing I noticed was there was no back filling if the west side of the west retaining was as plan when the deck spans moves took place. Save them work when it come time to build the next set of deck span for the other tunnel. Also time and money not doing it since there was more than enough room for the bed of the current line.
Black Creek.
All the bridges are 100% completed.
A new switch has been installed on the south side of the bridges as there is a new bypass track being built from it going over into CP MacTier Sub corridor. I expect this bypass track will go south to the St Clair Area to allow the current corridor road bed to be rebuilt 100%. Crews were working on the new track. New 4 track signal Mast in place south of Rogers Rd.
Denison Rd
I don't think this grade separation road will be finish this year as it is still in the same condition as it was in the spring of 2013. Metrolinx may have an issue with the contractor and the reason for the delay.
New duel side 4 track mast north of the road.
Weston Station
Most of the new south tunnel for the new platform is built, but no work on the platform or the tunnel going east.
The map shows the north tunnel going to the east side of the corridor being completed in 2013, but it is not. They are rebuilding the tunnel entrance wall now since they have relocated the sales office to the church property.
The north end of the new platform has precast decking on the support piers.
King-Church Flyunder.
The new King St bridge is open and that was fast since there was no support for it the last time I saw the area. Retaining walls going up south of King St with most of it in place south of John St. John Street has most of the floor in for the flyunder. With Church St closed now, the area is 100% graded. The area north of Church is graded for the floor slab to be pour.
The lost time for this area is almost back on schedule.
Weston Rd Bridge
Traffic is using the new lower level southbound lanes as the northbound have yet to be lower.
The only thing that remains of the old bridge is the footing for the centre pier and the east retaining wall. The new west retaining wall is completed. A big different look with the new bridge in place and the old one gone.
Lot more up on site
