EDMONTON — Construction crews were hard at work Thursday, pouring the concrete slab that will sit under the ice surface at the new downtown arena.
As of the end of February, about $441.5 million had been spent on the $605-million project.
Some of the milestone work that’s been done in the past few weeks include the installation of the very first seat in the stands.
Other work currently underway ranges from exterior roofing, panelling and glazing to interior fireproofing, framing and drywall.
Some of the notable work to come in the months to come includes installing the rest of the seats and the arrival of the scoreboard, which will both be done in May.
