Yonge to Victoria will be completed Thursday subject to weather.
It is possible the section west of Bay could be done by Wedneday next week subject to weather Still got to pour the base at Bay area before doing the trackwork and the final splicing of the rails.

Looking up York St towards Queen.
Sorry for the pic, 10x zoom isn't always the best

Also, wait, York St is a one way going north, why are they laying 2 sets of tracks?

Because it will be two way down from Queen to Adelaide. That's how streetcars will get to/from Queen. (Great pity they did not add a southbound track from Adelaide to King as it would, surely, be good for diversions but I suppose it MIGHT be part of the 2026 (??) track rebuild on King.

Shame, brand new road and there are already ugly utility cuts, I find whenever they repave one magically shows up a month later

Though there are always too many utility cuts, and some ARE made too soon after repaving, if your complaints are based on the photos just above the sections of Adelaide from Yonge to Victoria and Bay to west of Sheppard have NOT been properly repaired or paved yet. There are also several sections from Bay to Yonge where the utility work is NOT finished and future vaults (??) are covered by metal plates.

Good to see what looks like work preparing to install second (south-bound) track on York St. (between Adelaide & Richmond).
