Upper Middle Road
Grade Separation Construction
Project Status Update
February 2009
The way it was.
The plan.
The construction of the Upper Middle Road (UMR) Grade Separation, located at the
Canadian National Railway crossing west of Appleby Line, is proceeding on schedule. The
initial phase which included the road and rail detour construction opened October 6, 2008.
The contractor is now working on the rail bridge foundations and piers as well as beginning
the excavation for Upper Middle Road to pass under the bridge.
Where we are today!
North abutment.
Note the texture on the
form panel, this is what
will be the impression
left on the concrete
when complete.
Centre piers.
Each of two piers
will support the
two tracks when
the bridge is
complete.

abutment footing.
Heat being
pumped to
