From the latest Atlantic Yards Construction Alert: about 59 modules delivered for B2; slow progress likely due to weather
According to the latest two-week Atlantic Yards Construction Alert, released yesterday by Empire State Development after preparation by developer Forest City Ratner, there were 14 additional modules delivered to the site of the B2 tower in two weeks.
That number, far less than the eight-a-day maximum over ten working days, brings the total delivered to 59. (The previous alert indicated 45.) To reach the 930 needed to finish the building, they'll have to ramp up, and better weather surely will make that more possible.
Also backfilling at the site, suspended two weeks ago, is expected to recommence.
On the railyard, 95 of 106 piles have been drilled along Pacific Street, part of the process toward a permanent Vanderbilt Yard
