Construction work on the 成人头条 Biomedical Campus site continues.
Over the past two months, 44 pile caps, 765 lineal feet of perimeter foundation, and eight elevator pits have been completed. This required miles of rebar and hundreds of trucks of concrete.
Crews have begun blocking street lanes around the site. These lanes will be closed to traffic for almost two years. The tower crane foundation has been completed, and the crane should be fully erected by the end of February. Steel placement will begin once the tower crane is ready.
