From the latest Construction Update: concrete superstructure done at B15; crane removal next weekend, along with closure of Sixth Avenue and Pacific Street

The latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Update (bottom), covering the two weeks beginning Monday, 8/24/20, was circulated Friday, 8/21/20 at 5:25 pm (lead time) by Empire State Development (ESD) after preparation by Greenland Forest City Partners.

According to the document, the concrete superstructure program is complete at B15 (37 Sixth Avenue, 662-64 Pacific Street). The 51-story B4 (18 Sixth Avenue) is expected to top out in December.

Next weekend will involve removal of the crane:

• Friday 8-28-20: Midnight – 6 AM: Construction Fence Relocation
• Saturday 8-29-20: 7 AM – 9 AM: Crane Dismantling
• Sunday 8-30-20: 7 AM – 5 AM: Crane Removal from Site
• Sunday 8-30-20: 5 PM – Midnight: Construction Fence Relocation

For the full weekend from 12:01 AM Saturday through 10 PM on Sunday, Sixth Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and Dean Street, as well as Pacific Street between Sixth and Carlton avenues will be closed.

Work starting on southeast block?

Judging from the text highlighted in in red in the document below, there could be new work--after being highlighted in the four previous two-week look-aheads--at the B12 & B13 sites on the southeast block of the project:

Excavation and Foundation work, including drilling of soldier piles, may commence during the week of August 24. Subcontractor may deliver oversized equipment (i.e. tooling, excavators, etc.) and soldier piles during early morning hours.

However, a neighbor told me that such work already began at the B13 site on Tuesday, 8/19/20. Go figure.

After-hours work

After-hours work--to enable social distancing, we've learned--continues at both the B4 (18 Sixth) and B15 (37 Sixth) towers, until 7 pm daily and Saturdays 8 am to 5 pm.
