During one of my tours today, I happened to yell to a construction worker that was standing on the crane barge and asked when we could expect the beginning of the trusses instillation, and he yelled back, 'in about three week'.
considering the amount of force being fed from the future trusses onto these angled mounts, I'm surprised there isn't even more steel... almost would have expected to see something akin to bridge abutments...

The force should be mostly compression - concrete for compression.

Really looking forward to seeing the trusswork go up......also, does anyone now know when the tower crane will be installed? Must be soon.....by end of June as well maybe?

Looks like the big barge crane has got a section of crane base on it's hook right now. Also, is there only one crane on this building as well? It looks like they have two holes in the top of the formwork, could there be two cranes going up?
from the webcam - No not a tower crane (like Wolf Point) a climbing crane (like 444 W Lake).
