August 27, 2014 by Leave a comment

UPDATED at 5: 50 pm WEDNESDAY AUGUST 27, 2014

This afternoon’s crane raising has been delayed, work will unfortunately have to go past 8:00 pm tonight. Every effort will be made to complete the crane raising as soon as is safely possible tonight.

Concrete delivery was delayed today, causing the 15th floor concrete slab pour to be run late, and therefore delaying the large crane work.

 

NOTE: Thursday and Friday schedules for Backstage & L Tower remain as currently posted on this site.
