Robust! I'd love to see the details and rebar shops for both side by side.

Where/when was this taken? Davies station?

Looks like the SE shot was taken around Davies Station in 2017.

Thank you, hard to believe it's 6 years already

2023 Q1 progress report on Valley Line West. Not a peep about anything east of the Stony Plain Road Bridge.

They have torn out the sidewalk on the south side of 104th in front of the CBH going to 109th, no?

I think it's mostly utility work.

I understand your frustration, but overall, their progression seem more than satisfactory. Ove half of the pillars for the elevated section are done, and the west side of the line seems to be moving at a crazy fast pace, to be honest.

Maybe they're focusing resources to be more efficient and fast, instead of spreading too thin.

Honestly, it's better this way for now. Downtown's already a mess of construction, so it's a prudent move not to add to that and to just concentrate their labour on the most geotechnically complex portions of the project.

I remember them mentioning they wanted to minimize impacts centrally so that the road isn’t closed for the whole span of construction. Lessons learned from Valley line SE

Two things to consider. They need construction access to the bridge so installing tracks or utilities cannot be done at this time. Also the eastern section is relatively straight forward with ample room and no bridges or other major infrastructure.

Fair enough. Still, the city or Marigold could have mentioned any of this in their quarterly report instead of leaving us in the dark.

This report was also for March 2023.

Did they install girders on the bridge over groat this weekend or is that next weekend?

Testing on LRT south of Whitemud resumes.

 

[BASE]

Is full line being tested right now or is there still somewhere blocked off?

 

[The_Cat]

I think, for now, the cable installation (and station inspection) is still going on.
