...but it doesn't change the fact that testing must continue, and trains will be blowing by here at 70 km/h on a more frequent basis - and people have simply got to stop crossing, or they'll risk getting killed.
Or, we have to stop testing and delay opening. Take your pick.
For what it's worth, any time I've seen testing through there, one of the OnTrack Safety guys is positioned at the "hole", presumably making sure nobody tries to cross when the train is about to go by.
For what it's worth, if they can build a huge bridge over a highway (like what's has happened over the 401) in a relatively short time, doing a pedestrian bridge over a couple tracks of the railway shouldn't be that difficult. Without affecting testing. They just need to be motivated or have someone light a fire under their ass.
