When will the busy northwest corner of the site (Broadway at 17th Street) be available again for pedestrian use?
The contractor is working as quickly as possible to return the northwest corner of the site to public use. The granite curb foundations have been formed and await the next dry period above freezing temperatures in order to pour concrete. As soon as the concrete cures, the area can be reopened to pedestrians crossing Broadway, 17th Street and Union Square West.
