The excavation is well along now. It was interesting walking around the site today and getting a sense of the different levels. When I left I went south on Raymur under Hastings.

When will the CoV push to remove the Hastings viaduct?

Never? Unlike the Georgia and Dunsmuir Viaducts it actually achieves something useful - grade separating a busy road from a railroad. If anything, the forward plan is to add another one at Malkin to replace the crossing at Venables, to go with the fairly new Powell Street Viaduct and fully grade separate the corridor to enhance the freight capacity and flexibility for the Port.

The best thing to do with things like the Hastings Viaduct is to bury the vacant lots surrounding the abutments with viaduct-facing buildings, like the Strathcona Village building is doing, so as to integrate it with the rest of Hastings.

I was just wondering yesterday about this project and if it had started construction. Great to see this started. Thanks for the update!!!

Don't forget, the city recently constructed a Powell viaduct to help facilitate car and rail traffic in the area.

So for those keeping count, Vision has added 1 viaduct so far during their time in office.

and ........ we have an ERECTION!!!!

the 1st of presumably 3 chubby's is now up!

traffic sure was jammed up around the area yesterday .... lots of looky-loos watching the erection in person. I may have been one of them ... as you know me I love watching groups of men working on erections.

anyone able to snap a pic or two?
In the meantime going to take your word and assume some concrete has been poured and change this to u/c.

thanks for the update. looks like there should be 2 more erections in the near future.

And downtown takes a big leap eastward! I think this on its own is going make a big change to the feel of the inner city, and is the beginning of a substantial leap outward akin to the development around SE FalseCreek out to 12th & Kingsway. All of the development going on throughout the region which is at this scale is making Vancouver feel much bigger; maybe even more than the towers, at least at this time.

and we have a 2nd ERECTION!!!!!!

yum! I mean ... nice!

Thanks for the updates.

This degree of density should have been the bare minimum granted along the Cambie/Canada Line Corridor between stations. Actually, the bare minimum should have been even greater than this.

Thanks for the update. This is such an odd location.

It won't be soon. That entire stretch will be continuous condos fairly in the next few years.
