Unlike the other Spur Line crossings that were pretty much 1:1 track replacement, Caroline / Erb is a whole re-configuration and involves much more than just the intersection.  The new northbound tracks will need to be in place through Waterloo Park, and the spur will need to be re-located the entire stretch between King and Erb/Caroline.  Likely they'll have to run to the new track alignment through the former parking areas of WTS first before reconfiguring the King St. end and Erb St. intersections in long weekend push.
