Two Large Cranes Signal Activity Centre Point Development; Traffic Impacted

After weeks of little activity, crews began Monday building two big cranes at the Centre Point project site in downtown Lexington.  Developer Dudley Webb says the cranes, one 260 feet tall, the other 300 feet, will be up for some time.  "The big booms that swing are over the project site and they'll use those to load the concrete up into the site,” said Webb.  “And those will be up through completion of the project."

Webb says the positioning of the cranes reaffirms commitment to the multi-million dollar high rise project.   "Oh, it means, we're committed and we're go,” said Webb.  “You're gonna get to see the building fly up now, so that's good.”

City Traffic Management officials say two of the four Main Street lanes between Limestone and Upper will be closed all week at the construction site.?
