Despite recent rainy weather, the contractor has completed the southern retaining wall between the WMATA building and the ART facility. They also completed installation of the stormwater filtration boxes and one of three electrical vaults, and are preparing to install the rainwater collection tank next week.

 

Crews continue to work on building foundations and underground utilities. Parking along South Eads Street within the project limits remains restricted for the foreseeable future.
