Concrete bases for the pavement and curbs are now in. Also the foundation for the monument has been poured... you can only see the top part of it here, with the stainless steel dowels poking out, but underneath is a 5' cube of concrete and rebar.
Very good concrete work here, the contractor is doing a fine job so far. Nice crisp edges for the most part, and good finishes, especially considering nobody will ever see this once the granite pavement is on top. Apparently his laborers used to work on building apartment buildings, so they know a lot about concrete.
With the base in, you can start to get a more concrete idea (ha!) of how the axis will line up with the armory.
They've also got the forms ready for the colored concrete curb and the steel-faced curb on the perimeter. Next up: installing the monument! We have to do that next so we don't tear up the finished site in the installation process.
