In December 2002, with foliage gone, the project footprint comes more clearly into view. Also visible in the center of the photo is one of several drainage ponds that helped to divert water from construction zones. The persistent rain throughout the fall and winter began to slow the pace of excavation activities. Green rebar cages for the perimeter wall panels can be seen being assembled in the center of the site and near the Capitol along the House side. Work on the truck tunnel on the north side of the site (far right) can be seen along Constitution Avenue. Perimeter (“slurry”) wall construction was under way in front of the House Steps in the southwest quadrant of the site.
