what part of that structure is the new black steel tower going to be? Is it a new roof support?

Pretty much yeah.
Those two towers are the main supports for the new roof. They each contain 5 escape staircases, a passenger lift and a goods lift, plus a couple small ancillary rooms that vary on different levels (telecoms, prayer, first aid room, pantry etc). At the top level the big part of them is VIP rooms and suites, with only one stair all the way down at that point, the other 4 replaced by larger rooms out to the stadium. My guess would be the lift is a dedicated sky-bar lift to go straight up to the vip bits, and not one that will stop at each concourse. But overall, they are the main structural 'cores' that take up the new roof and link the new concourses and seating tier to the office and hotel at the back.

I sometimes watch the you tube coverage of progress and whilst the pictures are great, the guy that does it has as much idea as me as to the order of works and the detail if what we are looking at. You should offer to do the commentary for him.
Hey I am a FOC so I am not having a go and them, it's just a fact our fan base is old and we are not going to be around long term, that needs to be addressed.Forced marches....Ageist cleansed to Lytham,Grange over Sands, Cartmel or Wythenshawe....Timed attendance at a care home on match day....Get to fuck.
We FOCs haven't gone through the shit of the 50s 60s 70s 80s & 90s to be binned of by some euthanasia supporting JCLs.
Get to fuck again !!
It's all very well expanding the stadium and increasing capacity, but has any thought gone into improving the public transport.
They putting in a nice walkway

I’ve heard there’s a planning application being submitted next month for a zip wire from the top of the viewing platform on the roof of the North stand all the way down to Great Ancoats Street. City are also currently doing a feasibility study for a long flume running along the River Medlock from the Etihad Campus to Piccadilly Basin.

This is getting a bit like the old Carlsberg advert, ”If Carlesberg dig football grounds…. “
