Week 30 (!)

One time when I drove by the site during the week, I actually saw someone inside, so I guess that accounts for the moved ladder and plastic garbage bag.

It's not looking good for a pre-election gubernatorial visit to open the station this year or for commuters hoping for shelter from winter weather.

Like the Yankees, maybe near year.

Week 31

I usually do these weekly shoots on the weekend when no one's around, but when I passed the site yesterday and saw workers and a roof framework, I hit the brakes and turned into the Rite-Aid lot.

After the usual two photograph angles, I've added 3 others.

Are you sure that you didn't Photoshop the roof into the picture?

I wanted to get some shots while I could still see some sky through the roof, so I went to the site today and they're actually working on a Saturday(!), so maybe the pre-gubernatorial election visit push is in effect.

If you're in the area tomorrow, go by the site. If workers are there, The Governor can't be far behind.

I'll post the pix when I finish editing them (sans PhotoShopping).

I saw it today too. Was wondering why there is a 1 x 6 under the main roof support beams, above the cement columns. You pic #8501 shows it best.

Here are some more photos from yesterday.

I hope the "binding agent" in the last one is temporary.

That contractor is profiting hundreds of thousands of dollars on this job. It's just insane. I wish I had bid it. And I would have had it done months ago.

Week 35

Good news! According to this NJ Transit notice (3rd pic) that I found duct-taped to the bus shelter at the station construction site yesterday, the project should be completed by last September.

I'm surprised NJ Transit didn't rip this sign down on October 1.

Back to the future.

Week 36

Nine months............this baby should be born by now.

I spoke to a supervisor who said they should be done by Christmas. It won't be open by then, but construction should be finished.

Today's third picture appears to show a line of rocket launchers being installed.

Week 37

..........and wood trim and window frames, but mostly cement.

Two cement trucks were there yesterday, as were lots of workers. Last week's rocket launchers are now barriers to protect the building from runaway cars that drive between the station and the bar next door.

Below are the usual two angles and 5 others.
