From the latest Construction Update: overnight work at railyard on weekend should include "minimal demolition of an existing retaining wall"

The latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Update (bottom), covering the two weeks beginning today, Monday, Nov. 11, was circulated Friday at 5:31 pm (lead time) by Empire State Development (ESD) after preparation by Greenland Forest City Partners.

There's not much new from the previous update, but weekend work at the railyard, during a second shift from 6 pm to 6 am, will expand somewhat: beyond excavation, installation of train servicing equipment, and installation of yard lighting structures--all previously mentioned--a contractor also will conduct "minimal demolition of an existing retaining wall."

Also, at the B12 and B13 sites mid-block on Dean Street between Carlton and Vanderbilt avenues, the contractor may repair parts of the existing construction fence.

After-hours work continues

Excavation work is expected to continue on Saturdays at the B15 and B4 sites from 9 am through 5 pm, through the end of the year.

Saturday daytime electrical utility installations, site restoration, and work that requires LIRR track outages are expected to continue in the railyard.

At the railyard, the LIRR may be utilizing portions of the yard lighting for security reasons. That's "expected to continue for the next several weeks." That could continue for a while.
