Latest agreement signed:


This tweet by Metrolinx has a video visualization. It's not on the OL link above:

 
So that's all the major construction contracts either signed, or on the way towards a final agreement being signed.
  • Rolling Stock, Systems, Operations and Maintenance - Hitachi Rail, Transdev, Plenary Americas, and Webuild
  • Southern civils, stations and tunnel - Ferrovial and Vinci
  • Pape tunnel and underground stations - Webuild and Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas
  • Elevated guideway and stations - Acciona and AMICO
Notable are the quantity of Spanish construction firms - hopefully they can bring some of the Madrid Metro construction cost and efficiencies to the project!

In contrast to Eglinton being worked on by Spanish firm ACS, owned by construction corruption king-pin Florentino Pérez.
 

The bridge looks great.
You'll already have the caternary poles and wires making it look messy, so the simpler the bridge the better.
The double column piers are quite common, it seems.
The Canada Line bridges in Vancouver are like that.
Built using the balanced cantilever method, I think, although other pics show a launching girder.

Very timely given the discussion in the other thread about ML maybe building a flyover under a transmission line.

Seriously, the normal scope and intent of a safety pause in an open house briefing is so attendees know about fire exits etc.

One wonders if this deck was prepared by an intern....
