Those cross beams look like the permanent ones and not just temporary ones for construction? cc @crs1026 @smallspy

You're probably right. The rendering for the Lower Don portal also has them.

^that RH line curve gives off streetcar curve vibes in that render.

For the East portion of the portal (~1/3 of total length) there will be 3 layers of struts & bracing, the top 2 layers are permanent.
For the rest of the portal there will be 2 layers with only the top one being kept permanently.

Why are the struts exposed instead of being covered with concrete? I assume it would be better for rust proofing

If they are like all the other struts in recent projects, they are a metal that will gradually oxidise to rust red, at which point the oxidation stops and they do not need further rustproofing.

A different view of the DVCB site. Photos from this afternoon from around Overlea and Millwood looking at the north access road, and across to the south portal.

Where old meets new at Logan:

Sidewalk underneath nearly double width on the west side:

Also widened on the east but this existing retaining wall would need to be redone if sidewalk is widened:

Dundas:

Nothing a little post-construction power washing can’t clean up:

New look Jimmie Simpson, tree removal would have ruined this park for me:

West side from Queen with temporary noise barrier around piling work:

It's going to be pretty wild watching massive new bridges go up across the Don Valley. Really looking forward to it. It's the most significant totally new bridge construction on this side of the city in decades.

Work going on in the valley on the thorncliffe and pape bridges
