ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

In all seriousness - they need to properly fill the earth, grade it, flaten it, build the forms, pour the concrete, let it set, remove the forms, backfill the edges and then do whatever other treatment in the area is required.

That's the bare minimum - and all has to be carried out within the confines of the retaining walls on both sides (embankment/bridge sides, and the retaining wall separating the MUT from the road).

Is this significantly different from any other section of sidewalk? Once a sidewalk paving job begins, it’s typically only a few days until the concrete is set. The parts under the bridge probably don’t even need forms since they’ll probably just pave the entire width of the space.
