Triton Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Workers are attaching the cab to the lift now, it's about to go up 2014-08-30 18.31.12 by marclongoria, on Flickr 2014-08-30 18.31.19 by marclongoria, on Flickr 2014-08-30 18.31.48 by marclongoria, on Flickr This photo doesn't do it any justice. It's difficult to see, but there are now four cranes visible from this location... the UofH Welcome Center, 500 Crawford (barely visible from my photo but very visible in person), 609 Main, and the Texaco Building Renovations. 2014-08-30 18.18.11 by marclongoria, on Flickr 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I was hoping to catch them setting the tower crane, I had it in my mind that they wouldn't do it Labor day weekend but wait till next weekend so I missed it, oh well they have 2 more to set up according to a supervisor I talked too a couple of weeks ago. Another is to go up on the west side of the building and one for the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 On the Main Street side there appears to be something like a gap in the foundation frame. This is where the tunnel will cut through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollusk Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Seems likely, S'dude. 601 Travis's primary street level lobby is along the Capitol side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
