So, as it's now September and we have but 2 months left in the construction season, here's an update on TGH work this year.

No work north of Kenmount Rd.
Conduit work for street lighting proceeding, conduit in place from near-Kenmount to almost Redmond's Road, and then a little past Redmond's Rd, but not as far as Blackmarsh. Now that the two bypasses have been removed, they can finish the conduit install this year.

Bypasss at Old Pennywell Rd still in place, over/underpass still unfinished ( roadbed on Old Pennywell rd needs to be raised at least 3 Metres. Only work showing this year is a couple loads of boulders dumped at the east side of the under/overpass.

Bypass at Redmond's Rd removed a few days ago. Redmond's Rd is gravel and you now drive onto the concrete bridge-deck (which hasn't been paved). It's a rough road.


Blackmarsh Rd bypass removed this week, now drive onto the fully finished over/underpass which has a nice paved deck. The electrical conduit hasn't reached this area yet.


Sobey's Square area - they've piled up the material removed from the Blackmarsh Rd bypass along the west side of the off-ramp to Topsail Rd, presumably as a sound barrier.

The pedestrian underpass has been partially finished, see previous post. No sign of any work for the over/under pass needed for access to TGH from Topsail road.


Topsail Rd overpass work proceeding - north side pad almost complete, south side pad footing excavation started.


Anyone who thinks we'll be driving on any part of this road this year is dreaming.
