Yah lol.... But that pic looks to be done earlier in the am (re low lying fog in the background as well the shadows are different.

With all the girders installed at 264th and the ones at 232nd to soon be completely installed. It'll be interesting to see if both of these will be completed around the same time? Coordinated completions perhaps????

As well, when is the CPKC (TWU) construction going to start?

I got an email response back on Sept 17 that reads:

Thank you for contacting the Fraser Valley Highway 1 Corridor Improvement Program.

The Ministry’s project team has been coordinating closely with BC Hydro and the Railway. This area is complex and has required additional time for analysis and design. As a result, the Highway 1 and 232nd Street Interchange Project has proceeded ahead of the Highway 1 railway underpass replacement.

BC Hydro’s pole line relocations are scheduled for this fall. Once that work is complete, construction will begin on the railway realignment and highway widening.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.

Regards,


Fraser Valley Highway 1 Corridor Improvement Program

Hmmm... So much for starting this past fall.
Once they start working, I'll add it to my monthly Drone routine.

Drove under CPKC today. There was some activity. Not sure what said activity was.....? Regardless, I'll do the drone thang early March and we'll see what they've been up to...

They finally updated this projects website on Feb 5. Last update was last June.

CPKC Rail Overhead Replacement
Status
The CPKC Rail Overhead Replacement Project is in design. Anticipated completion 2029.

Now that is going to be one well designed overpass.

Can they shoehorn three lanes through the existing overpass, or is this spot going to be two lanes for another 3 years?

Railway companies really like dragging their feet on these type of projects.

I don't understand why it's still in design. What kind of design are they doing? This should have been done already a year or two ago; that's just insane. Yes the rail company is dragging their feet but we should have everything done and ready to go and turnkey. So to say that they're still designing it is literally insane

There's a "thing" in project management called the "critical path". If the bottleneck to getting the job done lies elsewhere, then there's literally no need to rush to get the design of this particular overpass done.

For example, cost constraints that limit the construction windows and workforce size might prevent the rest of the project from being completed earlier. If delaying the rail overpass construction doesn't affect the overall project completion date, then there's no need to get it done earlier. This is especially true if the resources who would be doing the design of this portion of the project are currently busy working on some other part which needs to be completed sooner.

And there can also be timing issues with the availability of funding, with only a certain amount to be spent in each annual budget.

I mean, they could still be too disorganized to do the job properly, but I'm just pointing out that there are valid reasons why these sort of things can happen.

Update from Jacob Bros instagram today:

https://www.instagram.com/p/DWUNdhtFBY6/?img_index=1

This past weekend, our crews on the Hwy 1 project in Langley completed a small but critical concrete pour for the footings of the South Approach abutment walls that will support the new 232nd Street Overpass.

Concrete was supplied by @jtreadymix and met the usual stringent MoTT specifications. Next up is installation of the expanded polystyrene blocks and the precast wall panels to create the bridge approaches
