10/3

The pour grows near.

I got an email stating that weather permitting, the pour should be on Tuesday (10/7) and will be an all day thing.

I'll definitely be swinging by during lunch then.

Between this, 150 N Riverside, and Wolf Point, it's free lunchtime entertainment for the next 2+ years.

Something must not have measured up though, the truck was gone 15 min later when I walked past again.

That area by the north end of River Point is the waiting area for deliveries using the Metra access road to the 150 Riverside site. The trucks enter at the Riverviews building and use the RR tunnel to cross over to 150.

150 was an anthill this weekend and workers will be there 24 hours a day for the next 3 weeks drilling and microdrilling according to the notice from Hines to 165 N. Canal. Maybe the truck disappeared because it was dropping off its load at 150. Or, maybe it just didn't know River Point was not open.

^ Those are tower crane parts. Too early to be delivering them to 150.......

LouisVanDerWright · #**2110** Posted **Oct 6, 2014, 4:10 PM**

Too early for either of these sites. I wonder if they weren't dropping off anchors for the base of the tower cranes to be embedded in the mat pour and then carrying on and delivering the cab and other parts to a different construction site?
