Canada dry would have been an appropriate anecdote for this project. Unfortunately, crews were left battling wet and cold conditions, but still appear to be on schedule for a November 2011 completion. The new ring road has nine interchanges, four ? yovers and two crossings over railways. Some crossings have multiple structures, bringing the total number of bridges to 29. Design improved the constructability, shortened the timeline and saved over $15 million.
