A #construction update from #Ottawa today. It looks like this #railway bridge abutment has been treated with an anti-graffiti coating. I guess we will see how that works out.

Another #Ottawa #Osgoode Link Pathway #bike path #construction update for today. This is at the High Road Bridge crossing, where the brand new asphalt was removed a week ago. Other than tarps being laid down, no work has been completed in the last week.

#Ottawa #Osgoode Link Pathway #bike path #construction update for today. The contractor keeps digging things up at Leitrim Road and then putting it back together, but the pathway remains closed there. They are supposed to be putting in bike crossing traffic signals, but it has not been complete in many months now.

and also some #construction regress on the Leitrim Road crossing at the #Osgoode Link Pathway. This has now been torn up three times after having been open. No idea why. It does not seem to be getting finished.

#Construction progress on the Lester Road crossing at the #Osgoode Link Pathway. The light stands have been installed.

Here is one for #conefest, a traffic cone and #construction themed bouncy castle!

#Construction update on the #Osgoode Link Pathway in south #Ottawa for Saturday. Basically some parts are finished and in use and other parts aren't. Now 27 months behind schedule, at this point I am hoping it will be finally finished by spring.

…and #bike path #construction in #Ottawa continues and continues and continues, as they now seem to be tearing up the almost completed bike path. No idea why.

The arrival of a sweeper looked positive, though.

Here is an update on the attempts to car-proof our new Shopper Drug Mart under #construction in #Ottawa. The posts have now all been decoratively finished with these nice plastic covers. That just hides the fact that they are steel posts embedded in concrete and also filled with concrete and designed to keep idiots who can't drive from hitting the plate glass windows.

This is my Thursday update on the #construction work on the #Osgoode Link Pathway. This is really all that is holding the opening up, just one road crossing. The work is to complete the crossing lights.

Here is my Monday update on the #construction work on the #Osgoode Link Pathway. They finally got the northern-most 2 km section completed and we were able to at least bike that far this morning. It looks like next they will be installing the bike crossing lights at the road intersection, as the ground detectors have already been wired in. That means that we will just have to pull up on our bikes and the lights will flash for crossing, I think.

The pathway is still blocked 2 km further south, waiting for the ground work to be finished on the crossing lights there.

and speaking of #Ottawa #construction, here is the latest reason to yet again close and tear up a #bike pathway: this time it is dredging a silt pond. I have no idea of the means by which this dredging will be done, but the photo shows the area where they plan to cache the silt prior to it being removed. I suspect I will be able to get some more photos of this once it gets actually started. The only good news is that we have an alternative bike route available on the other side of the pond.

Here is the Sunday update on the #construction work on the #Osgoode Pathway. The crew have been very slowly working on getting the last 500 m finished, might be done by the end of today.

It is Friday so I was just checking on this weeks' #construction work on the #Osgoode Pathway, hoping that the last 500 m of stone dust surface finishing would be complete. I went down and found that nothing at all has been done this week. All the piles of materiel are still sitting there, just no work done at all. The northern portion is all finished and that is it.

If there’s an enduring image of how large steel structures used to be made, it’s probably the hot riveting process. You’ve probably seen grainy old black-and-white films of a rive…

#Construction on the #Osgoode Link Pathway in south #Ottawa continues with no completion in sight. This seems to be drains and wiring for a crossing signal.

Some shots of #construction on the #Osgoode Link Pathway in south #Ottawa. This #bike path seems to be taking a very long time to get finished and is already 27 months late to be completed. The portions that are completed look good, with a well-rolled stone dust surface. Just need to get it finished.
