From the latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Update: Saturday and evening work to continue at 535 Carlton site
According to the latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Brooklyn Construction Updated, for the two weeks beginning 8/31/15 (but distributed this morning at 10:35 am), Saturday work as well as work up until 9 pm during weekdays will continue at the 535 Carlton Avenue site (aka B11).
The explanation, as in the past, is "to address field conditions," which pretty much means "because we want to get more done."
Note continued work on the interior and facade of modules at the B2 site.
There's not that much different from the work announced in the update two weeks ago.

This is a little odd. The crane installation happened this past weekend, and the announcement was in the previous Construction Update. Nobody seems to have edited it. As for the temporary removal of the fire hydrant, well, shouldn't they have told people beforehand? And why wasn't that in red? (It was supposed to happen in the previous reporting period.)
