Timelines

Ground conditions and boulders

Geotechnical investigations have been completed along the alignment and we anticipate that the ground conditions are favourable for tunneling. However, there is a risk the TBM could encounter harder soil or boulders, which could slow down progress.​

Extr​​eme weather

Extreme weather including severe cold, heavy rains, high winds and lighting make working unsafe. During these conditions, the site will be shut down.​

Relocation of existing utilities

The start date of the project is dependent on relocation of the utilities, including a water main at Tubby Bateman Park, as well electricity and telecommunication lines at Ritchie School. Electricity and telecommunication line relocations are anticipated to take place in Q1 of 2023. The watermain relocation is anticipated to take place in Spring 2023. There may be some disruption to local services, however more information will be provided at the time of construction.​

Deli​very of the TBM

The TBM will be delivered from overseas, either from the manufacturer or from another project site. If there are delays with shipping, the tunneling portion of the project may be delayed.​
