Certainly appears that way!

New signages being put up for FIFA all around the station.

The TBM has really picked up speed compared to last week with almost the entirety of the front shields inside now.

They were transferring tunnel liners into the pit when I passed through today:

Update on all the goings on at Exhibition. It's pretty wild how many different projects are happening concurrently.

My biggest fear is that those boring machines end up accidentally tunneling through someone's basement if they took a wrong turn at Albuquerque like... >.<

They've finally started vertical construction for the main station with supports for the concourse level now installed between the pairs of GO tracks during the LSW closure this weekend. They've also started building another (blue) platform over the two Southern tracks to assist with construction.

I think the first would be the piers for Don Valley Station.
And there is the small bit of platform canopy at East Harbour.

I'll have an update tonight or tomorrow. At most, it's halfway into the tunnel. One thing I learned is they take it really slow at first to slow break it in.

...I gotta feeling it moves like the speed of tectonic plates. That is, hard to see unless measured over time. >.<
