Traffic, Concrete Deliveries, Crowding are Key Concerns for WTC Area

摘要

The numbers for the ambitious rebuilding of lower Manhattan, sparked by the terrorist attacks of 9/11, are staggering. There are 29 projects worth more than $21 billion expected to be complete by 2015. Nearly half of the 3 million cu yd of concrete and more than half of the 547,500 tons of steel targeted for all New York City jobs will converge in the already congested area at the southern tip of the island. Over the course of the projects, 12,000 workers will commute to jobsites in lower Manhattan, with 5,900 going straight to the World Trade Center.
