In October 2002, just two months after excavation began, the project footprint began to emerge. More trailers, equipment, and materials could be seen throughout the project site. Red “clamshell” rigs can be seen in the foreground (left of center) as they were poised to begin construction of the perimeter wall of the CVC. The CVC footprint, at 193,000 sq. ft., is larger than the footprint of the Capitol itself.
