                        The structural steel beams have been erected, the deck pans installed and the deck reinforcing steel placed. The deck concrete screed has been installed and a dry run performed. The remaining work has been discontinued and will re-commence when weather conditions permit placement of the deck concrete. Based on a potential April 15th re-start date, it is anticipated the project could be completed by mid-June.
