It will be a very slow filling of the new river bed.

...*next year though.
*Note: The Twitter post in question was dated last December, so I presume "next" here is this year. And probably when it's less cold.

I think they've also started flooding the wetland north of Commissioners and west of the riverbed.

Just a little 1 minute video from this morning. Best enjoyed in 4k.
(Sorry couldn't go any further or any higher because they whole area is very importantly geofenced for drones as it's so close to Billy Bishop.)
But still fun to see!

No, I don't mean the overflow area south of Commissioners. That one appears to be almost done. There's a second area north of Commissioners, west of the riverbed that appears to be getting filled.
Edit:
Here's a photo of what I mean. The overflow is in the top left, and the other wetland in on the bottom right

It has been raining and it is below the flood plain so it is certainly waterlogged but I do not think they are actively filling it, However .....

Thanks! Here's an actual shot, a bit closer up.
Wider shot showing how much of Villiers will need to be excavated for the water to get through.
Latest progress on the bridge over the Don River.
And one more shot of the neighbourhood a little further down the road, by everyone's favourite transfer station.

Jan 14
The eastbound lake shore signs say Jan 23 for both roads today.
I expect Villiers east end will be close Permanently as well on Jan 23 as there is nothing there in the first place. It will allow work to take place on the New Don Mouth extension as well as building the Don Roadway. Hope they place Jersey barriers across the Close Cherry Rd on both sides of the lift bridge as we don't need anyone walking/cycling/driving to take a dip in the Keating Channel.
No sidewalk on the north side of Commissioner St west of the bridge to Cherry St. The westbound eastbound cycle lane looks temporary west of the bridge compared to the east side as well the westbound cycle lane. Separate cycle compared the rest lanes across the waterfront and the New Cherry St. Major concrete work on the southeast corner of Cherry St and Commissioner that is under trap.
Was supposed to on my way to an event in the US this coming week and has been cancel tell spring due to the snow storm and the coldest, Was hoping to drive over the new bridges if the plan Jan10-11 took place had took place while I had wheels, but with the date Jan 23, no idea when that will happen at this time. Did get a chance to use the new eastbound bridge and traffic lanes going eastbound only.
