Foothold for the Freedom Tower By DAVID W. DUNLAP, New York Times
With the politicians and bagpipers and camera crews of the cornerstone ceremony long gone, Joseph J. Seymour, the executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, visited ground zero on Thursday to inspect progress.
'We've already done the borings for the foundation,' he said. 'The tiebacks are going in now. Once the tiebacks are complete, the slabs will come down. And, of course, the footings will be going in as well, a number of footings that hold the whole, massive Freedom Tower.
'The governor said, 'Steel in the sky by 2006,' ' Mr. Seymour continued. 'I think it'll take a good year before we come up to street level because of all the intricacies that are involved in the basement substructure."------------------------------------------- posted 6:39 AM :: reference link ::
