PHILADELPHIA-While much of the construction at the Dilworth Plaza at City Hall project has gone on virtually unnoticed, some real progress will begin to take shape this week.
Steven Bussey, vice president of parks and streetscape operations for the Center City District, says workers will start installing forms to prepare for pouring the concrete surface of the plaza.
Crews have completed much of the underground work and will begin pouring concrete to create a new street-level surface in the third week of June, according to the Inquirer.
The $70-million project will transform the area to a more people-friendly environment with a café, glass-covered transit entrances and fountains. The project, to be finished by July 2014, will include $55 million earmarked for plaza improvements and $15 million in transit upgrades by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.
