Superstructure work is underway, currently working on the cellar and first-floor levels. Over the next 2 to 3 weeks, work is scheduled to include:

  • Delivery of equipment and materials to the worksite, with about 30 trucks on average arriving per day, including concrete deliveries
  • Rebar and formwork installation

All activities are conducted based on New York State reopening guidelines for mandated physical distancing, protective equipment, and cleaning and hygiene protocols. COVID-19 health and safety measures are in place, including medical screenings for all workers entering the site, additional sanitizing and handwashing stations, and social distancing practices where feasible. 

Work will occur on weekdays from approximately 7 am to 3:30 pm, but may extend until approximately 6 pm.
