Tall columns for grade on south side of Convention Center pedestrian
bridge crossing. Picture was taken from where Convention Center
station will straddle Desert Inn Road
Columns going up quickly in center of Paradise Road south of Convention
Center Station. Construction moving along quickly here to minimize
disruption to Paradise Road traffic.
Column rebar for parking lot of Chamber of Commerce. How many
parking spaces do you think would be lost if this was grade level
light rail?
At the beam yard, the first of several straddle bents is ready.
This 7' high, 100' wide beam will support track as it transitions
to center of Paradise Road. Insert image shows where beams will
be attached to bent.
