The support beams have gone vertical this week, and today, we could see that the cement has been poured for them.

We also can see where work on the fountain base has been progressing as well. New cement has been added in sections while work to remove the sidewalk around it continues.

This pathway continues to see sections removed while the work moves forward. We can also see here on the left where the bypass pathway will likely meet up with the breezeway in the future.
