November 2022 it seems like they were at that first level of well points.

From January

the city posted an update the other day, traffic is back open.

Last updated: Monday, December 11 – 11 a.m.
This update follows the previous statements issued by the City regarding the geotechnical issue at the Amacon Construction Ltd. development site at 500 Foster Avenue in Coquitlam.

Traffic Update
Following confirmation from both the original and third-party geotechnical engineers, the two westbound lanes on Foster Avenue (between North Road and Whiting Way) have been reopened to vehicle traffic as of this morning. The eastbound lane will remain closed as we continue to ensure site and public safety while remediation of the shoring wall is completed. Bus Route 157 will continue to be rerouted via Robinson Street and Smith Avenue in both directions.

Site Update
Placement of backfill to support the area of shoring wall failure and ensure the stability of Foster Ave is complete. This will allow the developer to safely advance the shoring wall repair. The geotechnical engineers have developed a remediation strategy for the shoring wall so on-site repair work will be proceeding.

The site remains safe and active as re-excavation and remediation of the shoring wall is anticipated to begin this week. There continues to be no expected risk to public safety, infrastructure or buildings beyond the immediate area of failure and both geotechnical engineers will continue to monitor and report on this work.

Neighbourhood Impacts
Coquitlam joins Amacon Construction Ltd. once again in thanking the neighborhood for their patience throughout these interruptions as we work together to resolve this.

In accord with Coquitlam’s Good Neighbour Construction Policy, Amacon has been in communication with property management companies in the area to keep neighbouring residents up to date on work-related impacts. After-hours and overnight work is not expected to continue regularly at this time. Residents can reach out to foster@amacon.com for further updates.

The City will also continue to provide the broader community with updates on traffic and the City’s role in this matter via posts on coquitlam.ca/FosterAvenue.

All the added soil seems to be removed by now. I couldn't see the bottom of the pit; however cite looks active.

Any update on this? I drive by once a month and still no slab poured or any foundation work taking place.

I'll take a snap next time I go for a walk, but there's a crane up now.

Yes I just got an update from MLA about this new crane. Good news for my clients. They say it’s still on schedule for 2025 but I don’t think that’s possible considering 43 floors take at least a week each just for pouring. Never mind finishes etc haha.
