yeah i dont know. i didnt think the two decks were suppose to touch but who knows. Perhaps there will be a way.


Think I saw a picture where the new upper deck concourse attaches to that ramp. Let me look for it.

ETA:

Here it is.




Another view.


From the pictures, it doesn't look like it attaches to the ramp itself, just the East Upper concourse, which attaches to the ramp. See below, new ramp connects in red.

Exactly what I see. So I wonder if they will allow people to enter the new south upper from the east upper ramp.

This was the best view that I could find. It's from August 28 and shows the new addition being built around the ramp.


It does look like they could connect the ramp at the top with the new addition, but I haven't found anything that illustrates this.

It would definitely make sense for them to connect the addition to the ramp.

Agreed. Because based on the early construction in this pic...



...I see no evidence of a ramp built into the new SEZ expansion.

Here is a picture to confirm this. You can see where they removed concrete for the stairs. This is from October 30.

When complete I do not think you will ever see the Window in question. The Purpose of the Design of the Ramps were that they can be used for the SEZ Expansion.

My question is this...

Why didn't they design the "tower" to match the exterior of the new expansion?
