Latest aerial updates from Airviews.(Manchester/Liverpool)
Note the workmen painting the bridge floor.
Mini Etihad is looking good in the 3rd pictures.

Am looking forward to jrb's photos/video of the jib being lifted up
However... good as the scene outside the stadium is concerned there is (allegedly) some brilliant action happening inside the stadium....

Bit of info.
Biggest crane of it's type in Europe.
Was brought over from Italy. Italian crane workers came with it.
There will be another 2 smaller cranes along side thi larger one.
They won't be finished until 9pm tonight.
Another hour before the arm gets lifted.

Are the foundations finished yet? Looked like there was still quite a lot of digging going on yesterday.

Inside work continues at a pace too
First of the temporary supports for the old south stand roof have gone in
[bigimg]http://www.stevenicklin.com/images/city/IMG_1470b.jpg[/bigimg]
Some serious digging for the three new rows at the front

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont
Civil Engineering and the background planning must be a brain drain. Even those platforms almost seem to have been purposely designed for this job in particular. Makes you realise that not only do you need a sound plan but also all the support activities and services to hand.
I'm not tempting bad luck here, however it's easy to see why projects overrun. How the he'll it's all coordinated I have no idea.
One thing is certain however and that is next season it's going to look like a building site!
