Will they make it?

FTLComm - Regina - Thursday, February 26, 2004, Images by : R. W. Shire |
We showed you Wascana Lake as the construction project began and then how it
looks on the East
end as the dirt is hauled east of the bypass.
We are now at the end of February and the signs of spring are starting to appear
in Regina. It will not be long until the giant work site stretching for over a mile
will once again have to hand the flow of spring run off.
The work crews work around the clock with a truck load of dirt moving just over every
sixty seconds. Four to five scoops from the back hoe above, are a load for the huge
truck and another one takes its place.
These pictures were taken Wednesday afternoon beginning on the Albert Street bridge
then from the park in front of the Legislature buildings.
Two large piles of gravel flank the construction project in the middle of the bridge
were a pedestrian walkway and control levy are being fashioned with butress piers
now going in place to form a new western shore line for the lake just east of the
Albert Street Bridge.
The project has caught the attention of Regina people as that are concerned that
this very expensive project gets done properly as it is the centre of the city and
everyone wants this to be a place of beauty for decades to come. In some of the pictures
below (click on the thumbnails to see the full size 10 inch pictures) you can see
the layer of plant decay that had choked the lake's life system and has even hampered
the digging as it insulated the clay from freezing and to get this excavation done
right they want to work with frozen clay.
We will keep you posted on this project with more pictures from the Broad Street
bridge which is near the middle of the huge project.
