interesting to see it from this perspective, so they're making the railway corridor (and the dark, dank, pedestrian walkways) about 50% longer than they are currently?

Longer, yes.

But not 50% longer. They're adding 2 more tracks to the overpasses which already carry 7 (Sherbourne) and 6 (Jarvis).

The Jarvis bridge is being widened by 9.86m, from the existing 30.7m. The Sherbourne bridge is being widened by 9.9m, from the existing 26.5m.

Does this mean it's two weeks behind schedule?

It means they have a schedule to share! Bonus points .

 

[mburrrrr]

They have 2.5 towers left.
One at parliament and 1.5 at sherbourne
I guess they cut the bolts off and lifted the tower down in sections last night.
Way ahead of schedule now.

Oh thank god they’re taking those down….they were SUCH as eyesore.

 

[WB62]

Pretty sure they’re all gone now!

They are all gone except for a few feet of the bases. Rode the GO today and there are just a bunch of piles of scrap now and not a lot else.

WOW. What a documentation.

 

[chrisw]

Ooh it's the hydro towers. It took quite awhile for me to tell what was supposed to be different. I was looking at the foreground and mid ground.

So much cleaner. The eastern Gardiner / Rail Corridor always seemed like such an infrastructure mess - this will hopefully help clean it up a bit.
