Anyone know if Columbia closure will be open by CANADA DAY?
I know the closure was originally 2 weeks, then delayed to 3 weeks, but no idea now as they don't show the dates on the closure sign either
Online says hopefully June 30th, let's hope they're on time

Quote:Columbia Closed, between Philip and Hagey -
On June 8, Columbia at the CN railway tracks, between Philip and Hagey, was closed to traffic for approximately two weeks; the intersections at Albert and Wes Graham remain open. The Columbia closure has now been extended until approximately June 30 to accommodate Waterloo North Hydro’s work in the area. We will continue to work in the area during this time.
Work includes upgrading and relocating the underground water utilities, removing and replacing the CN railway tracks, installing the permanent LRT track and paving.
Generally, work will take place Monday to Friday, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., however, over the weekend (June 12-15 and June 19-22), crews will work around the clock for an 88-hour period. This extended work period will ensure that trains are able to resume regular service on Monday.
Sidewalks are temporarily closed during this construction, and safety barriers and fencing is installed near the active work area. To avoid the closure, pedestrians and cyclists are encouraged to use Hagey and Ring Road or Phillip.
