Well, that's going to be no problem since we're likely now looking at an opening with significantly reduced service due to the delays at Bombardier.

Charles now open for two-way traffic from Benton to Gaukel. And it would be much more if not for the new digs E of Benton and between Gaukel and Water. Hopefully those will be done quickly.

Yeah, I wondered why they opened that back up fully when it's down to a single lane "narrow bridge style - yield" there at Manulife.
My guess was September 30 was a project milestone for payment so they wanted to say "look, it's open! cheque plz".

Are the new digs Grandlinq or city/region? I actually didn't pay attention ...

I'm not sure - I just saw a big hole with fences and noted traffic was down to one lane with a big "YEILD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC" sign up when headed South there.

I don't believe there was a U-Turn sign there, though I suppose it's technically "forced" since you can't drive through it : Like I said though, there's the 2 little side arms right before William that connect up with William - if one absolutely needed to get into William, those are open!

Ohhhh, I've never noticed those before. I see what you mean.
Might have to go out for a drive this afternoon - no 30 km bike rides today.

I appreciate that someone has been meticulously adding track but can someone please fix this?
(Should be a double/full crossover at the terminus)

And that's probably because those were not yet cost-effective when the RFP was written.

I heard they wanted to re-use as many fixtures as possible instead of just throwing them out. When they burn out then they'll replace them with newer ones. Kind of makes sense - environmentally friendly and financially responsible.

Even so, the ones that they put back up along Victoria are non-LEDs, despite them originally being LEDs. Which doesn't make much sense.

I said the same thing about the reconstruction of Franklin. There is currently an RFP out to replace 45,000 street lights with LED. Closes in a couple of weeks with the work to be completed by December 2017.
