They've just started repaving this week, so I'm not sure what the months of lead-up involved.
It seemed to have been a rehab project, I know that the expansion joints were replaced for one, and some of the retaining wall/abutments below. Not sure what else. They did the north span first, then the south span. This alternation could have caused it to seem like a long project as well... not sure.
That's exactly what it was. I went to the Public Information Centre for the Environmental Assessment where they discussed these rehabilitation measures.
I expressed concern then because the bridge was rehabilitated only about 12 years ago as well where the parapet walls were replaced and deck was rehabilitated...why it needed another rehabilitation 12 years later is beyond me.
