As promised, views of the lane blockage on 9th Avenue.
Spring construction time -

Got to see them bring another beam round the corner, to go in the ground.
Here, the one big yellow thingie from 9th carries a huge iron beam around the corner to 42nd and passes it off to another big yellow thingie who brings it to the guy with the flip-down welding mask. So cool.

We finally got our new skim coat!
Pic one is almost a week ago; 9th Ave was shut down from 48(?) down to 42nd, at first I thought to force traffic out to 11th Ave (southbound) because of the bottleneck on 9th at 42nd (cuz of pipes going under 42nd at 8th, 9th, and 10th)!
But it was to toughen up our surface and prep the underlayer. Behold before and after pics.

We’re getting our lines painted now that the asphalt’s all new -
Also BUS ONLY but I don’t have pics of that.
One guy paints, the other guy throws white dust on it. Maybe to dry faster?
