[The Goon]

The night work is expected to be on and off until December. Amazingly, I think our newborn is getting used to the constant sounds of construction.

Our backyard over looks the temporary bridge on 17th Ave just east of 69th Street. Great times right now. From my West LRT newsletter:

Crews are beginning to work through the night in various areas throughout the construction zone, including tunnel construction near 37 Street S.W. and 69 Street S.W. The City does keep night work to a minimum and allows it only when the nature of the work requires it. Increased night work is expected as December approaches.

• On Thursday, September 30, 2010, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., southbound 42 Street S.W. will close from 17 Avenue to 15 Avenue. Pedestrian movements will be maintained through the closure. This lane closure is necessary for utility work. Traffic can access 15 Avenue S.W. from 45 Street and 37 Street.
• Night Work: On Thursday, September 30, from 6:30 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. and Friday, October 1, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., eastbound and westbound 17 Avenue S.W. will be reduced to one lane in each direction between 37 Street and 39 Street. These lane closures are necessary to accommodate LRT tunnel construction. Expect noise during Thursday night and traffic delays through construction.
• Night Work: From Friday, October 1, at 6 p.m. until Sunday, October 3, at 5 p.m. eastbound and westbound 17 Avenue S.W. will be reduced to one lane between Costello Boulevard and Sarcee Trail. This lane reduction is necessary to accommodate utility work. Delays are expected. Expect noise during Friday night.
• Night Work: On Friday, October 1, and Saturday, October 2, from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., nightly, 17 Avenue S.W. will close to traffic just east of 69 Street S.W. This closure is necessary to accommodate utility work. Expect noise through Friday and Saturday nights. Detours will direct motorists accordingly.
