ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Trackwork is slower in the winter.  Remember, they have one crew come in, pour the curbs, then ~10 days of warmed curing. Then they pour the side filler blocks, then ~10 days of curing. Then lay and align the track, pour, 10 more days. In the summer with steady weather, this can happen in parallel at different staggered sections.  In the winter, limitations on building a reasonably sized tent for warming mean they happen serially, on the same section.

The "Manulife" track was exposed on February 18, or earlier - so they are making progress a little faster than you think.
