I just drove the expressway northbound and I saw that the southbound express lanes were closed with traffic backed up almost to University Ave. My best guess is that they're taking down the scaffolding and form work over the southbound express lanes, as they've already done in the northbound collectors. I would have thought they'd do that in the middle of the night, not in the middle of a Friday...

They have been progressively removing bits and pieces of it over the last little while, yeah! My guess is it will take several weeks, very carefully removing bits at a time. It is curious that they chose to start doing it in one of the sections at rush hour, but they may have a timeline/deadline to get it all down by, and it had to happen eventually...

I like how the new Bridge has 'Victoria' embossed into the concrete. Heading north you can see it on the far right of the bridge.

Are there any good pictures that are a little more zoomed out so I can get perspective on this hwy?
Sorry, can't go through 43 pages of history.

Anyone know what the current status is? The clearing/fencing seemed to have happened this Spring/Summer but not sure what else is going on right now other than the Victoria / Wellington work.

Supposedly the Grand River bridges near Bingemans are going to start construction next year. Still no date on the actual highway.

Have designs been approved (or even submitted) yet?
