The cables and power have to be there, but the interior of the bridge doesn't need to be complete then.
 
Today.

Not quick at all. Given that they're only assembling something that has already been prefabricated, this is taking much longer than you'd expect it to take. They're assembling an average of one rib every 2-3 days. Don't put these guys in charge of assembling a Poäng Chair.
 
About 40% of the ribs are assembled. Looking up close, you can see that this bridge is of high quality. They built it to very small tolerances. Every little part fits in tightly like an expensive puzzle. I can't wait to see the glazing and the bronze finishes!

Since nobody visits the Retail forum, and the Eaton Centre has had a highly discussed LED sign, I thought I'd put this here:

Shoppers (former Hard Rock Cafe) is building a curved LED display across from the Eaton Centre that looks way better than the multiple paper billboards that were there before. Slowly, this place is actually turning into Times Square (though we're a few decades from catching up).

I was down there today and from the looks of things they seem to be getting ready to put the bridge in place sometime soon and continue the work with it up in the air between the two buildings.

Alos they have anew temporary sign over the south end doors on the support scaffolding.

Some support scaffolding has gone up in front of the entrance to the Bay as well.

Awesome! That's the silver lining of Shoppers moving in
