Arena construction work this week will go on second shift, to 11 pm
This will be updated when I hear more from the ESDC.
Atlantic Yards Report
Though the Atlantic Yards arena is, according to a consultant working for the bond trustee, a month ahead of schedule, the Empire State Development Corporation today announced at 3:32 pm that this week there will be a second shift of construction work, from 3:30 pm to 11 pm.
Work will include:
- Support activities for foundation work
- Spray fireproofing at the Event Level and other levels
- Sheet metal installation at the Event Level
- Plumbing installation at the Event Level
- Miscellaneous electrical rough in and electrical support activities.
According to the ESDC, no materials will be trucked off site and there will be no concrete pours during this period--in other words, less traffic.
While deliveries will be staged for prior to 6pm, there may be some small box truck type deliveries after 6pm.
