The work going on on the North side of the underpass is quite impressive. The ROW has been excavated down to grade all the way from the new overpass to Wellington. It's amazing imagining how low the road will be here in just a few months! The photos don't quite captivate how far down the excavation is.

One thing baffles me: how will the connection from Moore to King be made? The grade on Moore will need to be lowered significantly, as with a bit of Breithaupt I would assume, but how will it be handled in front of the Google building, I wonder? Rails running a long the sidewalk so you don't fall down to the road?

Track embedding is done almost completely in front of KCI, and in the Green / King intersection. The intersection is just missing the concrete buffer i the middle, and then it will be all set to open on time next week as planned. I'm surprised curbs are still missing on the Southbound side of King in front of KCI, considering the track embedding is going on. With the stair complete, I'd have expected reopening traffic on King to have been a priority.

I really like how the raised sidewalk on the West side is being handled alongside the Sun Life building on King. Looks quite good when paired with the architecture of the old portion of the Sun Life building.
