Work Progress
While work is moving along well, we have been experiencing some delays as a result of the transit strike. Unfortunately, some workers have not been able to get to the site and that has slowed work down.
As of today, scaffolding is complete thru the 25th floor, and is expected to reach the 30th floor by the end of next week if the weather cooperates. The vestibules connecting the hoist to the inside of the building are completed through the 24th floor on the north side of the building.
On Monday December 19, 2005, URS moved its trailer to the corner of Cedar St and Washington St. Bovis has also installed fencing to enclose Cedar St. entirely from 90 West St. to Washington St.
Additional Safety Precautions
Safety continues to be the number one priority of the LMDC on this job. The sidewalk bridge along the west side of Greenwich Street is being re-erected at double the height of the old one to provide additional protection for pedestrians walking along Greenwich Street. This new sidewalk shed includes "catchalls" which provide additional protection to those on the street. Catchalls were also installed along Albany Street several weeks ago. This work is expected to be complete by the end of this week.
Worker safety meetings continue to occur daily on the job site.
