From the latest Atlantic Yards Construction Alert: pile drilling at railyard to begin next Monday; noise barrier installation not yet complete

According to the latest two-week Atlantic Yards Construction Alert, dated 4/1-13 and released today by Empire State Development after preparation by developer Forest City Ratner, there will be continued site excavation at the site of the B2 modular tower, resulting in the use of 4-8 dump trucks per day, with each taking three round trips.

Drilling of support of excavation piles is expected to begin the week of 4/8/2013, which means a slight delay, as it was supposed to begin 3/25/13.

Along Pacific Street, according to the alert, "[n]oise barrier installation, hydrant relocation and lighting relocation have yet to be completed."

The MPT [maintenance and protection of traffic] for the work is projected to be in place for about eight months.
