not looking forward to the lane closures, but good to see it finally moving forward. In a way I wish the rehabilitation was just done as one large contract to get it done all at once.

Prepping for rehab work has started with the installation of wooden slats on the underside of carriage way in front of Exhibition GO

I love your watermark and how seamless it is. You'll always know when someone is stealing your photo, whereas the person stealing may not notice, but it's just so immediately obvious to those in the know.

A cedar ceiling would be nice for the Gardiner

Just a little reminder that this can be done. The Bonaventure Expressway in Montreal is getting the royal treatment. And this anachronism is surrounded by industrial land that bears a striking resemblance to our Portlands/Gardiner combination!

Additional supports have been added from Exhibition GO heading westward. Looks like a 2nd support will be added to each section soon.

Crews were waiting for the last load of concrete to be pour under Dufferin for the eastbound lane. The rest had been pour.

Hasn't happened yet but I've done wedding photos at Underpass Park because of the rain and also Graffiti Alley. One day!

They're not repaving, they're paving for the first time. I guess the staging of the project is such that they want to reroute the lanes to one side of the structure in an initial stage, or maybe rebuild the walls to start with. Either of those options would require the lanes to be moved into or across the area formerly occupied by the median - thus the paving through there.
