once fulton street is open for construcion staging, things should really start to pick up =)

when is PATH scheduled to shut down?

A-K O.G. · #**4883** Posted **Apr 24, 2009, 9:01 AM**

'PA trans Hub/"hudson"' ' cant close for now, its vital to the everyday comute of thousands(near quarter mil per wk day).. tho this entrance was recently(minor) constructed upon, by PA to clear needed space for T2 "175 Greenwich" within the past months., from what I understand./

The Port Authority will close the PATH station on weekends starting in June.

It's not the word most New Yorkers would use, but it's a good one.
Most Americans use a word related to the stuff from a bull that makes the flowers grow when referring to the Port Authority.

Those are some fantastic pics. Thanks NYGuy!

You're all welcome, but we were due for an update anyway. One thing about seeing the site, you realize that life goes on in New York, even as the tower rises...

kpexpress · #**4893** Posted **Apr 27, 2009, 9:32 PM**

is it me or is this tower really not making much progress? I understand that there is immense work to be done underground, but since the tower has started to raise skyward the progress is slower than a snails pace. And doesn't it look like it lacks in girth for a 1000+ footer?

re: girth

You're just seeing the core at this point in the above photo.

Please, if you're gonna comment, try to keep up with what's going on here. Everyone knows that the steel won't really start rising until the north core reaches street level, sometime in the summer.

Concord Steel Awarded With ThyssenKrupp Elevator Contract to Supply 800,000 Pounds of Elevator Counterweights for One World Trade Center in New York City

WARREN, Ohio, April 27

Concord Steel, Inc., the leading independent manufacturer and supplier of custom fabricated steel counterweights, was awarded a contract to provide steel counterweights for all 71 elevators being installed by ThyssenKrupp Elevator in the Freedom Tower, at One World Trade Center, in New York City. The 800,000 pound order is one of the largest single orders for elevator counterweights in Concord Steel's history.

"We are proud to be a partner in this historic One World Trade Center Project," said Paul Vesey, President of Concord Steel. "We will draw upon the Company's 85 years of experience to provide these special and unique counterweights."

One World Trade Center is the main building of the new World Trade Center complex under construction located in Lower Manhattan in New York City. The tower will soar to 1,776 feet in the sky and serve as an inspirational and enduring beacon in the New York City skyline. It will be located in the northwest corner of the 16-acre World Trade Center site. Work on the tower, began in April, 2006 and is expected to be completed sometime in 2013.

Why the north core is it so long to climb?

PS: I'm new in this forum, so be cool! LOL
