I think the bridge superstructure is well above any 'erect' dump truck.

Yeah, they seem to be wide open on a frequent basis with little to no activity, and sometimes overnight

What’s the crane for? Taken this morning.
They have moved a lot of dirt near the crane.
The dirt pile is getting a little bit lower in front of the Commissioners St. bridge.
Flash back one year. Nov 27, 2022

Work on the repair of the Bascule Bridge 'foundations' seem to be drawing to a close. Work on the west side was completed late in 2022 and they have been working on east side in 2023. They have now poured the top concrete for the roadway on the east side and are working on east sidewalk concrete too. Based on their work on the west side last year they ought to finish the work off by Christmas. In 2024 they will start the work of cleaning, repairing and then painting the metal work and, installing a new motor for the lifting. See: https://www.portstoronto.com/portst...ronto-ship-channel-bridge-–-rehabilitati.aspx
The City were/are responsible for most of the work to date, Ports Toronto are dealing with the structure & the machinery. See: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2021/mm/bgrd/backgroundfile-169129.pdf
The car that ran into the Lake a few days ago managed to find one of the few areas on the west side of bridge (at the north end) that is not well protected by a concrete barrier - I think it is still to be installed.

Though a lot clearly depends on the weather, based on a 'site visit' today, I continue to predict that New Cherry will certainly be fully paved by Christmas and that, at least the part of Commissioners west of the new bridge, will probably be done too. I did not venture to the east side but a couple of weeks ago they were working on the road base so ....
We shall see, or not!

It they opened up both ends you could actually drive across it now. It literally just needs that little top layer of asphalt. But from my exploring on the weekend it looks all graded and compacted.

From WT December Newsletter
We're getting ready to open New Cherry Street and Commissioners Street, including two new bridges. Joining the yellow Cherry South Bridge, which opened last year, these colourful crossings will be ready to welcome people walking, rolling, cycling and driving by the end of this year. We'll send a notice before the new roads and bridges open – including details for those interested in checking them out on opening day. You can also check for updates, including a new map you'll be able to download. Stay tuned!

Beautiful. I hope they put barriers to block ppl from driving on the streetcar side of the new cherry street bridge, because we all know how drivers are in Toronto these days that seem to have ordered their drivers license off of Amazon smh.

They were paving the recreation path on new Cherry today.
Also the sidewalk on the north side of Commissioners seems to be progressing.
