There has been much more of the same activity over the past week. Concrete has now been poured for nine of the sections of the bus terminal floor. It appears that there are only six sections remaining. Two concrete forms for the bus terminal walls have been placed on each side of the floor (top of the photo). Two rows of 36 pillars rise from the center of the floor. So far, the pillars are made only of rebar, but they start to define the separation of the passenger area from the bus-travel area of the terminal. A row of 22 foundations have been built for the canopy at the light rail passenger platform (foreground).

Good news. According to the August edition of the Union Station Advocates Newsletter, the completion date for the project has been moved up a month to April 2014 from May 2014.

I copied the following from a recent email from DUSPA: “The Denver Union Station Project Authority, Regional Transportation District and City and County of Denver will host a Denver Union Station Construction Celebration on Tuesday, September 7, 2010, at 1:30 P.M.” The event will be held at the light rail platform behind Union Station.
