Construction Gallery - Las Vegas,
Nevada.

Entire "L04" Paradise Road section of straight beams
went into place on three Sundays. Wood forms will of course be
removed when all beams are cemented together. This view is looking
north from Chamber of Commerce. It's now been just over a year
since the groundbreaking, amazing progress in that short amount
of time!
Looking south at same section. This crossover leads the track
to the Convention Center Station.
Looking south from the north end of the system, the Sahara Resort
Station construction.
The pylons to the left are in place for the next system expansion,
a three-mile run to downtown. To the right is the spur line to
the OMSF (Operations Maintenance & Storage Facility). Say,
what's that metal stuff attached to the side of the beam?
First section of emergency walkway on the spur to the OMSF.
The OMSF spur line, now with emergency walkway attached.
The OMSF grows. To the right is the switch platform.
