Remember this scene from Update #12 way back on April 29, 2010?

That conveyor system made relatively short work of moving dirt from the hole into huge piles along two sides of what is now the underground bus terminal. Digging for the second half of the terminal has been underway for a few weeks. Today, Kiewit started to assemble the conveyor system again (see the upper right corner in the photo below). This time, the dirt pile will be next to 16th Street where the tracks remain in the street.

Also notice in the photo above that the old platforms for the mall shuttle and the light rail stations are being ripped up. Certainly, we will see full-scale excavation of the area very soon.

If I have time later today, I will add a close-up shot of the activity to this posting.
