While it seemed like progress was being made on the painting of the faux marble bridge in the Italy Pavilion, there seems to have been some regression as we found most of the bridge painted white today. Most of the bannisters are still painted to look like marble, but the other parts of the bridge are now white. We’ll be watching this area closely.
