Contracted construction workers struggle in the ice and snow to replace corroding steel pipes beneath the North Campus promenade. According to Keith Tramp of University Facilities, the construction in front of the Student Union should be complete today; sites by Baldy and O'Brien Halls are also slated for work in the near future.
The corrosion was discovered when leaks were reported in Baldy Hall.
"This is all part of a project to renovate (the promenade)," Tramp said, explaining that the walkway down the academic spine is receiving new blacktop. "We wanted to finish the pipes before that happened."
