There was a gigantic crane at the Uptown/Crystal Blu pit today. I couldn't get a good look at was it was doing, but I assume it was removing the diggers from the hole. The crane should be going in very soon.

I saw that too, it was lifting mechanical equipment out of the pit

I forgot to mention that last Sunday they had a few white crane sections in the pit. I'm thinking one if not both cranes will be up withing 2 weeks.

Looking down into the southern Crystal Blu section of the pit.

Looking north, they are preparing to install the crane foundation in the Uptown section of the pit.

Nice photos, they capture the sheer size of that hole.

A little OT, but I'm curious, does anybody have pictures of the ROCP hole, was it really bigger than this?

The ROCP hole was significantly deeper and wider.

Can you tell me what ROCP is an acronym for? Thanks.

Hilarious. Excellent way of conveying the frighteningly realistic possibility of this turning out like the ersatz nightmares north of the 401.
