December 1, 2020

At Cairo Avenue (first photo), construction crews have the abutments built and ready for the falsework of the superstructure to be installed.

Nearby at Ninth Avenue (second photo), continued construction of the falsework for the superstructure of the future high-speed rail structure. Crews will now tie-in rebar for the soffit of the structure in preparation of a concrete placement. Both structures will carry high-speed trains above grade and allow traffic to pass underneath.
