Construction of the Inlet Centre Station at Ioco and Barnet promises to be tricky for both work crews and drivers, who will have to find an alternate route when the bridge is completely closed for the Thanksgiving Day long weekend in October.

An artist's rendering shows two entrances to the Inlet Centre Station, allowing passengers to access it from either side and then head down to a lower-level platform.

"The station design is responsive to the community's desire to not have an elevated station," Farrell said. "It's the most complex station on the alignment and I think it will be fantastic when finished."

Building the platform under the road represents "a big huge piece of engineering that's not commonplace for this area," said PoMo's senior project manager James Chandler. "It's quite a unique and exciting project."

That's because the way to get a station platform underneath an existing major intersection — there's no room for lane relocations needed for cut-and-cover construction — is by "tunnel jacking."

Crews will be working non-stop over the three-day weekend to shove the concrete tunnel box — all 35 metres and 4,000 tonnes of it — from the east entrance and "pushing and jacking" it into place.

"The road will be cut and opened up by multiple excavators as the tunnel is pushed through," Chandler said, "then back-filled in...resurface the road and it's through in three days."

But there's plenty of work to be done before that feat of engineering, he added, mainly in moving the city utilities running through the area.
