Great idea but this will never happen because you're making too much sense! I bet you they will build it with stairs, and the overpass will have a tiny fence that will make people feel unsafe while they cross the highway and within a few years the cement will crack and it will look terrible. Oh well, at least my expectations are low so how can I be disappointed right?!

You should talk to the University of Sherbrooke. A small pedestrian bridge was built in Sherbrooke some years ago over the river Magog. The concrete is incredibly thin and yet, there still isn't a crack in it.

The city considered demolishing it as part of a renewal project of the city center that involves replacing and moving the Grande-Fourches bridge, but the pedestrian bridge is sufficiently unique and sufficiently liked by the population that it will survive.

Interesting! That would be a nice design instead of the usual drab concrete. Merci

Just a quick drive-by.

While LG-Anne is indeed parked for the season about seven spans east of the first (westbound) Ste-Marie overpass, work is continuing full-speed at the two West Island stations that were started this summer. I didn’t get pictures at Anse-à-l’Orme but the berm ramp that brings the guideway to ground level is almost complete and most of the foundation work and slabs for the various structures are getting close to done as well.

At Fairview-Pointe-Claire station, work is progressing on the steel structure of the entire station, and the protective winter Tempo for the eastbound platform structure is now in place; the westbound platform’s Tempo should be ready next week.

I think this station will be structurally/architecturally complete by the time Marie reaches it late next year or early 2022. Perhaps that’s the goal at both here and AO. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Grey day for pics and the snow banks on the opposite side of Avenue Fairview and the Service Road didn’t allow me to safely get closer or directly in front. The stairways on both sides are progressing well, and now the structure of the upper walls and roofs of the platforms is going up. The grey prefab panels under the stairways went up a couple of weeks ago, but this was my first chance to stop by since the holidays.
 

@crosbyshow I like to share the love 😂

TIMBERRRRRRRR

Another grey day, but I saw the structural timber going up and then I saw that the architectural wood roof panels are being installed and I felt compelled to stop and walk down the service road a little bit even though I’m not wearing my dossard!

All I can say is Kirkland will be huge.
