From the transcript

We will begin closing those gaps on July— Monday, July 20th, and progressively work towards closing those right up towards the end, right up towards the release, but hopefully be ahead of that. So, you know, you will still see people, you know, CBJ crews, inspecting and walking the barriers between now and the release until it's not safe. But the bulk of the work, all of the HESCO work, is done except for the closure. So with that, Ashley, thank you so much, and thank you everybody.
