Interesting angles, allows us to see that they did dig under what will be the Red River extension.

What are they going to put under the Red River extension?

It looks like the Block 164 tower crane is going up. From the DKR webcam:

When I have more time, I think I'll split Block 164 into its own thread since the Brackenridge project in its current form is being developed piecemeal over a long period of time.

Block 164 has its own thread now.

When is the old Brackenridge hospital going to be demolished?

Is there a CVC over this area?

More Demo has started in the past week. It can be seen from the Alexan webcam.

I took this back on July 26th but couldn't find this thread.

I noticed this morning that they've started demolishing the main Brackenridge Tower. The southeast corner looks to have been either chewed up by the jaws of death or smashed by the wrecking ball. I didn't have time to snap a photo since we were on I-35 and I was shocked to see it and just kind of gawked at it as we went by. I'll try to snap a photo tomorrow morning on our way past again.

There was never going to be an implosion, so this may take a while.

The ATX · #**315** Posted **Nov 8, 2020, 8:59 PM**

Implosions are cool. But this type of demo makes for some long foreplay.

my youngest daughter was born there. It will be sad to see it gone. Same with the Frank Erwin Center. So many memories like graduation.

Is the Erwin center where she was conceived?

Post of the day.

End of an era, for sure. Both the tower and the Erwin Center (which is now on borrowed time, of course).

Any updated plans on the Brackenridge Campus redevelopment? I haven't seen anything in a while.
