I am glad Council voted to have the line elevated over 178 Street as well, they could've easily said no and had an at-grade crossing there.
I also remember the wild underpass / interchange idea at 149 St. and SPR that was axed, that would've been quite an undertaking.

^^^^I imagine the Gantry crane isn’t that far away with the steel structures being set up at the piers:

Looks like the Gantry Crane is almost ready to roll.

They haven't started shifting the lanes on 104 Ave over yet, but it looks like they're getting close to doing that. I saw a pavement remover parked nearby, and some new asphalt presumably covering line markings.

They have west of 116st

Good to know, thanks. That must be recent then, because when I got to 116 and started walking north at around 5, it was still the same as it was this morning.

Didn't have my camera on me but the LRT construction looked impressive from the WEM World Waterpark zipline.

Someone smarter than me explain - are these sidewalk removals really going to take until August? 4.5 months to remove the north side of 4 blocks of sidewalk?

^ I wonder if drainage works and other utilities are included in the construction.

That's my guess as well.
