Well, at least now it's doug that will have to answer for this , and any mess or delay as a result.
That's assuming the province as officially taken over both expressways by now?

The fact that this is going to City Council and not just a contract posted on MERX means the transfer hasn't happened yet.

there was a shift in lanes over the Park Lawn bridge since my last commute last week. Middle section is done and construction has now moved on to the south lanes closest to the Lakeshore exit. Caused a heavier than normal backup this morning all the way to the 427 as people get familiar with the new configuration

Funny that this contract is being signed now. I was just about to post the pics below and ask when and if these bents were going to be repaired.

Forgive the ignorance, but is there a final design or a schedule for re-jigging the ramps between the Gardiner and the DVP yet?

2027 to 2030 I believe in the previous schedule. I'm not sure if that changes with MTO becoming more involved and the acceleration of some of the previous phase.

It's still essentially the layout shown as Section 5 here https://www.toronto.ca/services-pay.../gardiner-expressway-rehabilitation-strategy/
Last I heard it was in detail design, so start of construction still 1-2 years out, and likely lasting 3-4 years.

The good thing about this, the chance of the province changing alignments and design appears to be slim. I was under this assumption with the upload that Doug would resort back to his option of replacing the Gardiner as is. With the Logan off ramps, etc. it appears that Doug is going ahead with the plan he was so set against 10 years ago.

To be fair, it took them what? more than a year? to change the name of Science Centre Station after announcing plans to move it. With this government, I wouldn't ascribe inactivity as anything with regards to Ford's OPC. Transparency isn't in their wheelhouse.

Work has started (first I noticed) on the $1,000,000 per month or per bent repair however you want to slice it for 5 Bents.
East of Bay. Looking east.
Staging under the Bay on-ramp west of Yonge.
