next spring for two way traffic ? Thats ridiculous, I dont see how it's going to take almost 6 month to finish the roadway.

I think they want to finish everything off before opening the 2-way traffic up again and to give the construction guys more space and safety to work . Frankly, having QQ one way seems to work fairly well and a few more months is not the end of the world.next spring for two way traffic ?

The dryness requirement was for testing the lubrication at the loop(s). No doubt they also need to test how the new cars work on the other parts of the line and esp. Union loop.well I just saw one of the new street cars going westbound on QQ. I didnt catch the number of it though, so it seems they didnt need for it to be dry after all.
UT has a Waterfront Toronto pic of 4400 on test along QQ. Unless ramp testing was involved, I would have thought 4401/2 could have been used in order to allow 4400/02 to stay in service on Spadina.
Thanks Dan, am not familiar enough with the area to have noticed that. (and that should have been "4400/03", of course)That photo is taken southbound on Spadina at Queens Quay. Considering how empty it is in the photo, I would wager dollars to donuts that it was taken prior to the re-opening of Queens Quay Loop on Aug 31st.
