In the depths of the memorial construction, the “Survivors Staircase” that some office workers used to flee the site on 9/11 is still visible, though steel is starting to surround it. The National September 11 Memorial & Museum will add other large artifacts to the site as it is built, since there won’t be room to bring them in once the construction is complete.
The next artifact to arrive will be the “Last Column,” a 36-foot steel beam covered with mementos from rescue workers before it was removed in May 2002, said Michelle Breslauer, spokesperson for the memorial museum. The column will be moved into place this summer, likely with a cover to protect it from the surrounding construction.
Meanwhile, the memorial’s structure will continue to take shape. Workers will pour concrete slabs this spring, and steel installation will finish by the end of the year.
