Looks like that pedestrian bridget won't be opened until early summer 2024. Not sure what will take so long now that the span is in place. They just need to pour a few concrete piers and create the ramps? Original project plan was for a 6 month closure, due to open in September 2023.

• March 18, 2023 - Early Summer 2024: Full Closure of Ogden Avenue Pedestrian Bridge - to facilitate full replacement of the bridge structure. Access to and across the bridge, which crosses the QEW between Ogden Avenue and Insley Road, will not be available throughout this period.

The missing section over the South Service Rd was installed just last week and there is more than you think to be done yet. We are in the winter months when things slow down and take longer to do..

Still have to build the forms for the columns and the ramps. Then there is the pouring of the walkway floor along with enclosure for it. Handrails have to be install as well fabricating sections on site to make the various turns.

South Service Rd at Ogden Rd was seeing a storm sewer installed the last few weeks with full closure west of Ogden and has reopen.

The North Service Rd still has to be rebuilt along with underground work at the overpass as well new sidewalks.

I had a quick look at the interchange and will be very surprised if it is open before the fall.

Both sidewalks and centre medium as well the bridge barrier still have to be poured. Expansion joints still has to be installed. Sidewalks on both sides of the bridge need to be formed and poured. There is curb work still to be done as well before paving can take place. Part of the ramp to the eastbound QEW is partly built with a barrier wall in place for the curve.

They are still putting in storm water system along the North Service Rd. The existing sound barrier wall along the North Service Rd is being shifted north with new steel columns being placed next to the Service Rd.

Once the new bridge is open, then the old one can be torn down to allow the building of the ramps to/from the QEW for it that will open in 2025.

Photos to follow this week.
