"This road will be CLOSED to through traffic until approx. May 25"
Well, I think we'll be stretching that "approx." bit for a little while. Grandlinq is still putting in underground cabling on Charles at Queen:
And even at Benton, there are no rails to be seen yet, just the same optimistic sign:
I figure two weeks at the minimum. They need to build the forms for the track, lay the sleepers, bring in the rails, put in the rebar, pour the concrete and then let it dry before they can lay down the asphalt (which is is needed to reopen the streets, I assume).
Is this even realistic to do in two weeks?
