Didn’t realize Wellington was happening. It’s badly needed for the bike lanes especially. But with LRT construction and jasper ave construction, oh boy haha. People are going to be pissed.

Maybe there’s no way it can be delayed. But doing it AFTER the WLRT opens and getting jasper done first would be nice. Then there’s at least alternatives with trains/buses. HLB and WVLRT likely don’t help the same people, so I’d swap HLB and Wellington if that was possible.

I believe its been delayed a few times. A lot of work was going on under neath.
 

In 2006, the city hired Alberco Construction to rehabilitate the northbbound bridge and apply industrial paint to prevent rust.

Clara Industrial was contracted to paint the bridge using paint from Termarust Technologies Inc.

Clara Industrial and Termarust provided the city with a five-year warranty on the work.

According to court documents, the paint was expected to last 20 to 25 years, but began deteriorating within a year.

By 2008, it became apparent there were defects and deficiencies in the paint. By late 2011, the city called on the companies to honour the warranty and repair the work.

Clara Industrial and Termarust blamed each other for the deficiencies in inspection reports. Both companies indicated they would not assume responsibility for repairs until the cause of the problem was determined.

In 2013, the city sued Clara Industrial and others involved in the project. In its statement of claim, the city sought an estimated $10 million in loss or damage, plus special damages of $250,000 associated with investigating the paint failure.

In 2018, Clara Industrial sought to have the case dismissed due to procedural delays. In June 2023, Court of King's Bench Justice Kent Teskey allowed the appeal, dismissing the city's case against Clara Industrial.

Teskey found that significant delays in advancing the case — and missed steps in the legal proceedings — may have resulted in the loss of critical evidence and documentation.

From the end of the article:

Design for rehabilitation of the northbound structure is underway, with construction expected to begin in 2026. The work will keep the bridge operational until its southbound twin is eventually decommissioned.

Rehabilitation of the southbound bridge is scheduled for this year. The work will include replacement and strengthening of bridge components but will not include repainting, the city said.

So half this bridge will be open still (southbound traffic will still be able to use this bridge in 2025, and the opposite in 2026).

You could say instead of 5 bridges closing at the same time, which I don't know where that came from, it's 3 bridges being worked on this year and one of them is still open for one-way traffic (so only half closed), and the other one will be mostly open during construction.

Yes, you could say that, but some (politicians especially) don't let the facts or precision get in the way of their arguments.
