Prudential Center Progress Accelerates in Boston Tower
Construction at Boston's Prudential Center surges as the 52 story Prudential Tower nears the 42nd floor with aluminum frames higher than 42 and crews closing in to reach 750 feet before winter. Rail work beneath the tower includes 1300 foot welded track segments and reinforced tunnel with ballast and cement ceilings. Hotel America reaches seven floors and a climbing crane aids speed while the auditorium and underground parking take shape. The Municipal Auditorium site pours the Moor area and readies for staging facilities. A new influx of plasterers and marble workers arrives as north plaza finishes with poured stone mosaics and precut granite accents.
