When will this start? Commissioners and Wellington is already a mess, so ripping up the Base Line intersection will only make things minimally worse. I am surprised they didn't start both of them at the same time.

My guess is ambulances needing a somewhat reliable to way to reach Vic Hospital? Keeping an intersection construction free sounds good for that in theory, but since it's congested at all sides due to backup resulting from construction at another nearby, its kinda pointless for many hours of the day.

So a little bit of rain early this morning and no signs of any workers on the Wellington St BRT project. Anyone with a phone could see the light rain was ending in south London by around 8:30am but the contractors doing our road projects had already called it a day.


It's no wonder this construction is taking so long and behind schedule.

Just get Josh out there with his construction helmet for a photo op, and the site will again be humming with "activity".

They have done the traffic lane shift on Highbury over the CP tracks to the new west side of the overpass. Just started on the east side bridge deck removal.

They have started installing the top coat of asphalt on the west bound side of Oxford St E between Second and Highbury. Have been installing steel posts between the masonry posts for the fence between the College buildings and Oxford St. Looks like they definitely want to finish the westbound lanes of Oxford and get the College fencing and landscaping installed before the start of the new school year.

They even have lanes painted on the westbound side. Looked like the permanent lane markings, although one would have to assume they plan to shift eastbound traffic over there at some point to pave those eastbound lanes. Unless they are going to try to squeeze a lane of traffic on the eastbound side and also pave a lane as they go.

They have now done the traffic lane shift to the west bound side of Oxford St from Second to Highbury. Still have a section of the new College fencing to install. Already installing landscaping along the fencing in front of the college. Hopefully they quickly finish off the eastbound side of Oxford St by the end of this year.
