I didn't see them construct it but my guess is there's a good sand base or concrete. They shouldn't move. The bricks break down and have to be replaced over time but that's just maintenance. The bricks on 104 Street have never moved, and these are not where people walk most of the time. It's a risk but should be okay. Just don't use small red bricks in high traffic locations.

Yes, like anything they require attention and maintenance, concrete can crack and heave too in our climate. The bricks add character, especially in the older areas.

The strip here is nice and I feel well thought out as it is not in the area where people will walk more.

2023 Gantry Accident

Always wondered what happened with this. Shut down the gantry for about a month in 2023. Seemed like they stepped up safety more after it.

I think it’s seven segments of viaduct completed west of WEM station.

They sure nailed the choice of bricks for this area.

Driving down SPR, I saw rails installed in the rebar in preparation for the concrete pour in the Glenora section. Also, the southbound section on 156 Street (from 95 Avenue to Meadowlark Road) is nearing completion.

While very painful for the local businesses, THIS is the way to do it IMO.

Rip the bandaid off.

You can get a heck of a lot more done during non-winter months. At least 124 Street will look great during summer.

Starting June 9, the intersection at 102 Ave and 107 Street will close for one month for drainage work. Firehall access will be maintained.
