The rail bridges are being lowered onto the newly installed frame on the way towards the completion of the $40-million Dufferin Street straightening project, currently scheduled for a July completion.
The roadbed north of the underpass is also being graded in preparation for laying the surface.
"This is a tremendous improvement that will dramatically improve the busiest bus route in the city, improve access for pedestrians and cyclists, beautify the neighbourhood by increasing green space and house a unique public art installation," says Councillor
Gord Perks, whose ward will be significantly effected by the project.
Designed by
Delcan, the project will also include new street rails and storm sewers.
The chief practical improvement will likely be an easing of the congestion caused by the former jog in the road.
