Just north of our office construction has started on the new East County Hall of Justice.

Construction started last October with grading and utility work. See my post: Earth Movers Then and Now

There was a lot of visible progress in the beginning, but then it seemed like not much was happening.

However when I got home last week and returned to the office this is what I saw.

The structure is starting to rise. I took this picture in the afternoon after work was done for the day.

This is definitely a big crane. The crane is from Bigge Crane and Rigging. I was planning on getting a picture of the crane in action, but when I have taken an afternoon walk it has been out of action for the day. I need to take a morning walk instead.

Here is a picture that I took this afternoon. You can see that a bit of progress has been made since last week.

I will have to start taking a walk everyday to take pictures of the progress. I always enjoy watching the progress of construction.

I will give more information about the structure in the future. I have seen renderings of what the building will look like and it is quite an impressive structure.

Look for more pictures in the future.
