you may have been wondering -- activity is slowly revving up around the wtc site.

this view is near the sw corner, but you can scroll over the whole site on this great pic - thx to greenwich boy at wiredny:

I can't help but wonder how some of the construction crew must feel working at the site?

6.5 years of progress...

Yeah...

i know. slow as snails.

 

on the positive side, i was surprized by that pic, that's the most construction activity i've seen to date.

 

it looks like it's because now they are getting fined for falling behind schedule:

in the worker's defense, they say fixing the wtc "bathtub" and building the first new building's foundations is taking a lot longer than once expected.

 

speaking of taking a long time, demo of the deustche bank building, which you can see a bit of shrouded on the right side, remains stalled following the deaths of two firefighters last year in a fire on the upper floors (caused by smoking). more:

New PATH Train Entrance Opens Tonight

by Lysandra Ohrstrom  |  March 31, 2008 |  Tags: Real EstatePATH TrainThe Port AuthorityThe World Trade Center

 

 

The Port Authority is opening a new entrance at the World Trade Center PATH Station tonight in time for the Tuesday morning commute.

 

The new entrance at Vesey Street and West Broadway will eventually replace the existing one at Church Street, which will close in mid-April to accommodate excavation and construction at the trade center site.

 

The temporary PATH entrance is a key part of the rebuilding that’s under way at the site, the Port Authority said in a statement released Monday morning. Work on the Freedom Tower is almost at street level; the foundations for the World Trade Center Memorial are nearly complete; and construction of Towers 3 and 4 is underway on top of the 80-foot-deep bathtub the authority recently finished.
