They build a new access road to the north of the station. Not really sure why... Also, the trench is being dug out under the 417!
Future Gladstone Station excavations complete and temporarily filled with water. You can see the Comms conduit sinking on the right-hand side.
Double track Gladstone Station excavation work completed
All the rubble that filled the Trillium Line trench under the Queensway Bridge, for its 60 year demolition and replacement this this summer has now been removed. Is the trench wide enough for double track here, with subsurface drainage, or more rock widening needed?
Lifted Trillium Line Stage 2 tracks near Young St. Trench now filled in to allow for old 1960s demolition and movement of new Queensway Bridge next week. It was extra long for planned Champagne Expy from Airport Parkway to Bayview and beyond.
New Gladstone Station Stage 2 blasting to widen trench. New bridge over trench seen in second image. Was some rubble used as temporary fill in trench for demolition of Queensway Bridge next week?
Construction at Gladstone Station continues with rock cutting and blasting.
Looking North at the future site of Gladstone Station. Tarps have been placed over the soon to be constructed Northbound tracks.

In this snapshot update for Stage 2 LRT, we take a look at Gladstone Station, along the Trillium Line South Extension, and discuss what will change, and what is to come over the next few years.
Looking down Gladstone towards the East. The station entrance and plaza will be located on the left side of the overpass (where the curved fence currently stands).
Looking down from the overpass to the tracks. The double tracking will be extended into the station and slightly beyond to the Queensway underpass. The station will feature two side platforms.
Another view of the future station entrance and plaza.

The opposite side of the Gladstone overpass. Currently a busy site with construction work and staging to replace the Highway 417 Queensway overpass that crosses the Trillium Line tracks.
