Ramsey - Ramp expansion, not vertically, but westerly from the existing structure.

The photo is from today, from across Sunwood Blvd, showing the contractor's board, the prior entrance road now closed (with ingress-egress presently from the ramp's southeast corner, off of Veterans Drive by the bus stop. The initial column pourings are shown, with rebar set for the next pour, etc. I am unsure of when/how the flooring for each level is placed before another column pour, so watch and see. There obviously would have to be rebar between columns, unless support bridging is all prestressed truss-work, delivered on site and lifted by crane into place. My guess is tying iron, setting forms, and doing onsite pours vs. prestressed/delivered.
