More curved panels have been installed between the ladder pieces along the edge closest to Space Mountain.

The paneling will give the edge of the framework a more completed look before the complete canopy is installed.

Several crew members were working on the paved walkway leading to the attraction.

We noticed markings on the walkway during our last update, but they seem to be gone now. Some of the crew was working on the railing.
