A new, larger crawler crane is expected to be delivered to the Ancillary 1 work zone (northwest corner of 69th Street and Second Avenue) in early December.

To advance progress on Entrance 1 (Northeast corner of 69th Street and Second Avenue) the contractor will need to implement a new pedestrian walkway between 69th and 70th Streets on the east side of Second Avenue. This new walkway configuration will relocate pedestrians into the street, behind barriers, and may go in to effect as early as this month.
