Survivors Stairway Relocation This Weekend

The stairs will be lifted and moved to an interim location
The stairs will be lifted and moved to an interim location

The largest artifact still in its original World Trade Center (WTC) location will be moved over the weekend of March 8th. Over the past several weeks, crews have primed the “survivor’s stairway” for the move by installing steel bracing and making other structural preparations.

Now in the site’s northeast quadrant, the full run of granite stairs will be lifted by crane and moved to an interim location within the WTC site, near Vesey and Greenwich Streets. The National 9/11 Memorial will incorporate the stairs into an underground staircase, though the installation date has not yet been announced.

With the stairs relocated, the Port Authority will continue east bathtub excavation at the Tower 2 site to meet its June 30th deadline. The agency turned over the Towers 3 and 4 sites to Silverstein Properties on February 17, 2008.
