Time to get the University overpass bridge webcam set up.

What is left? I'm sure there are things inside that need done yet, but outside? Guessing fencing. Does the band get bleachers or do they have to stand the whole game?

They built permanent bleachers for them. Last year I think.

It's just concrete risers. No seating.

Oh, well that's where they'll stand.

Looks like we have some red paint on the concrete now. Looks sharp. Wonder if the will paint "Cyclones" on it in the gold color. That would look sharp.

Nothing major will happen until the completion of the football season.

Building projects begin, wrap up this summer • Inside Iowa State for faculty and staff • Iowa State University

Here is an article for reference. Look for a webcam to appear this fall

It says “likely begins”.

The construction bid was to be awarded this week, but significant progress on the athletics department's $10 million pedestrian walkway above University Boulevard east of Jack Trice Stadium likely begins after the 2021 football season

The bid stated that construction on the east side of Elwood/University can begin any time after the bid is awarded.

It’s only the west side that has to wait until after the season.

Looks like the fencing is going up on the walls.

And more painting along the east ramp.

Have they tested the new ribbon boards yet?

Any truth to the rumor the Texas equipment truck has special parking by Hilton this year?

We really need someone with a drone to get some new aerial photos/video from the north (4th st)

I've got a dozen jumbo sized eggs to lob at it. Who's with me?

What kind of material are they using to boarder the sodded areas.

That paint looks very sharp. Me likey.

Gold trim on the top would cap it off perfectly. Not too much- just enough

Ooooh... that would be killer. Love that idea.

Not to be a downer but has the bridge contract already been awarded and stuff? Just curious if the recent events will change what we do with infrastructure improvements. I'm guessing the Pollard and light district will be off the table for a while.

Yes it was awarded pretty quickly and it was about $2 million under budget. I assume the contractor is working on procuring materials and they must not be too worried about getting everything done between the end of football season and next August because they could be getting quite a bit of work started if they felt they needed to. Everything was funded through donations specifically earmarked for the job also, so I don't see them stopping any work on it.
