Are you using the ones here? If so, that's a bummer.

How do they service those portapotties in the middle of the worksite? Do they just crane them out when they get full or do they service them in place?

Pedestrian Tunnel Taking Shape at World Trade Center

By Carl Glassman
POSTED MARCH 2, 2009

Progress can be seen all around the World Trade Center site these days. But one of the most dramatic strands in that complex web of development is 60 feet below street level and hidden from view. It is the shopping mall and shortcut known as the “East-West Connector.”

When the Port Authority completes it, the retail-lined concourse will connect the new PATH station, designed by Santiago Calatrava, with the World Financial Center in Battery Park City.

Atop the tunnel, other workers are constructing a sheet metal roof that will be the base of an extended Fulton Street.

The columns on the north side of the concourse will frame storefronts for some of the half-million square feet of retail space in the transportation hub and office building lobbies—about the same amount of retail the Trade Center housed.

The concourse, now half finished, is expected to open along with the PATH station in early 2014, if the Port Authority can stay on its latest schedule.

The construction site looks so peaceful covered in all that snow.

damn, they really got dumped on

It's hard to grasp that every piece of steel or concrete they put in there is going to be there when it's finished. It's like a giant puzzle, only it's a puzzle that requires another puzzle before you can start the real puzzle.

It'll be surreal standing there when it has finally undergone its transformation from construction site to business site... For the second time.

What I get from looking at the photos, especially the last one, is that you can mentally see where things are going to be now. It's gone beyond just renderings.

why is one part of the core so much faster than the other one?

That's been discussed at length here. Reportedly work will commence faster on that end when the Port Authority suspends weekend service on the PATH trains that run underneath the tower this summer. The PA expects the north core to be rising above ground at that time.
