It seemed the construction for the Rapidway from Newmarket to the Finch subway station lasted forever.
Now with the new lanes, the left turn lanes and some new vegetation along Yonge Street it is a memory. Not very distant yet.
So labelling lots of my photos in my Photo Gallery I decided to post some of those pictures now.
Construction equipment on the field in front of the library which can be seen in the background.
Looking through these cement blocks was interesting.
Circles being used for what??
The machines were resting as it was not a work day for the crew.
The field near Yonge Street.
Looking north from Hoskins and Yonge.
Looking south from Hoskins and Yonge.
Where the pillons mark the road was the beginning of the new lanes.
Along Yonge.
Path on Library property
Rapidlink construction signs.
These all went underground.
The tracks in the mud.
More concrete images.
It was good for me to venture out to take photos at that time. Close to home so I did not leave Adolph alone for very long. Helped with my creativity. Now when I review this set of photos I am glad I took them. I have some more of Yonge Street recently with the bus shelters and bus laneways. Eventually I will collect all my Yonge photos and show the changes in the area in such a short time.
Construction throughout history has been such an important time in our lives.
Adolph did some of his work life in construction so I have memories of his work and activities.
Do you have people in your life who perform construction activities?
