NEW YORK CITY-With power restored in much of Lower Manhattan and businesses returning to normalcy after super-storm Sandy ripped through the Tri-State Area, one of the area’s biggest assets – the World Trade Center – is coming back, too.
Construction work at the 16-acre site has resumed after 16 million gallons of water was pumped out from the area, Governor Andrew Cuomo said this morning. More than 95% of the seven feet of flooding from the storm surge has been removed from the site, which involved a massive pump-out effort at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at Ground Zero, he said.
Today is also the first day since Hurricane Sandy that major cranes are being used at One World Trade Center and at the PATH transit hub since the city’s Department of Buildings issued a mandatory order on Oct. 26 to suspend all construction work due to the impacts of the storm.
