Here’s the third update on the Broadway Station upgrade project, for March-April 2009!

If you hadn’t heard, we are upgrading Broadway Station to better handle customer traffic and security. I wrote about the overall plans for the upgrade in November 2008, and posted two updates on the station’s progress, in December 2008 and February-March 2009.

What’s been completed in March?

The concrete block walls at right are built to house the electrical and elevator rooms in the station.

  • Concrete block walls have been built on the east side to house ancillary rooms (the electrical room, elevator machine room, etc).
  • Concrete slab has been poured in the south half of the station.
  • We’ve installed steel support framework along the west wall, in preparation for the installation of the glass walls.
  • Underground electrical and mechanical services in the south station are complete.
  • Further installation of electrical services have been completed throughout the concourse (bottom) level of the station.

What’s coming up in April?
