I just read that the work isn’t expected to be finished until 2020. Makes me shed a tear for my commute.

That’s been the plan all along, as we’ve been reporting since at least last year.

At least, their estimate. Could finish early. Here’s hoping. – TR

What’s the work schedule on this project, 4 hours a day? Every time I go through this area on the C Line there is no one working.

I see a crew out there all the time during normal business hours. Granted in the evenings / night time and on the 4th they don’t work

When will it be possible to turn left off Avalon to Admiral again? That’s impacting ability to quickly go up to Admiral junction.

This project is absolutely painful for local residents. Getting to Avalon, we must travel through an alley not made for major traffic; you can’t turn left off Manning onto Avalon ( although a very brave and smart person moved the cones so locals could turn left onto Avalon from Manning (if you don’t know where Manning is then you probably don’t need to, but the local residents know). It’s hell and if one can’t turn left onto Avalon from Manning it makes it even more difficult for residents. It is however good that residents can turn left off Manning onto Admiral. So there’s that. Can’t wait until this is complete. Totally painful for the residents, not to mention traffic that passes through there to get to the Alaska Junction. The street festival this weekend could make it a real problem.

Sorry, comment time is over.
