World Trade Center East Bathtub « back

Excavation continues June 2008 
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey crews have been hard at work since fall 2006 building the “east bathtub” at the World Trade Center (WTC) site. Their progress is critical to the aggressive rebuilding timeline set forth by the state and city to rebuild the site’s 16 acres by 2012.

The plan requires the Port Authority to prepare the bathtub’s southern portion by winter 2008 and the northern portion by mid-2008 -- including excavating, building the permanent slurry walls, and relocating utilities. From there, developer Silverstein Properties will take over the east bathtub to begin building World Trade Center Towers Two, Three, and Four. The new towers are scheduled to open by 2012.

Summary

TRAFFIC NOTE: The western sidewalk of Church Street is closed between Liberty and Vesey Streets. The sidewalk closure protects pedestrians from heavy truck traffic at that area of the site, inside the fence. Traffic enforcement agents and construction flagpeople are on site to direct pedestrians and vehicles.
