Health Sciences Platform Construction
Customers using Health Sciences LRT station will be encountering some construction on the station platform as preparation starts for the installation of an overhead pedway across 114 Street and along the west side of the station, connecting the new Edmonton Clinic South and the new Edmonton Health Academy.
Construction also includes an upgrade to the existing Health Sciences Station with the addition of a second floor connection to the station platform. The pedway will be located over the north end of the platform. Construction is expected to be complete in the fall of 2012.
Activity this month is mainly preparation for the construction of supporting structures for an escalator, stair and elevator connection to the pedway. Two glass shelters on the platform will be removed as openings are cut for the construction.
The contractor will maintain pedestrian access at both ends of the platform and to the trains on each side during the installation. Look for notices on the platform as the project goes forward.
