Looking at the flyover, only one more length remains before completion. I’m guessing that the original overpass connectors could be restored before the snow flies. The first caternary pole is up between 182 and 189 Street. I think 156 Street/95 Avenue looks closer to completion.

Parts of SPR around153 Street are paved. Median construction west of 124 Street has begun. It looks like the 112 Avenue eastbound station wall is ready for concrete. 109 Street SB trackbed construction is progressing.
 
The entirety of 104th ave between 109 and 124 needs to be rebuilt into a fully urbanized main street style corridor. Remove the big box, parking in the front outlets. New main floor retail spaces, fronting the street, with residences above. On/ off street parking should be included. Calgary's University District is an example to copy (in Edmonton's case, there would be the train)

The latest update on Building Edmonton came out:

Marigold Infrastructure Partners (MIP) and the City have developed a plan to accelerate roadwork and trackwork in key areas in 2025. This work will result in significant traffic restrictions, but will reduce the overall duration of traffic impacts by more than half. The accelerated plan will also get many of the roads into their final configuration by the end of 2025. Work also continues at many other sites along the alignment, including at stops and stations, the Lewis Farms storage facility, Gerry Wright operations and maintenance facility, and the elevated guideway along 87 Avenue. MIP has achieved 43.4% progress (as of the end of June 2025) as measured by the Independent Certifier. The first Light Rail Vehicle manufactured by Hyundai Rotem Company is expected to be shipped from South Korea at the end of June 2025, arriving in Edmonton at the end of July.

The actual Q2 2025 report was published today. No updated progress figure since it's the same time period, but there's new details about specific segments.

This seems incredibly quick, they already have asphalt down in the south side of 104ave in the section between 109 and 110st. I swear they only switched traffic from south to the north side a few weeks ago? View attachment 683137

Great pic - some of downtown Edmonton's most modern, interesting buildings, especially when business wing is done.

Hopefully that parking lot fills in with something suitable to contribute greater to this area.

PME had been working almost 24/7 in that area for the last couple of weeks. Seems like they made a big push to get it done

yessir and allard hall just out of frame. Its been awesome seeing the business building go up. Between macewan, the LRT and the MUP it couldnt be a better area to be completely pedestrianized. (but not without 109st losing a few lbs)
