Thanks for the pictures. I can see the west tunnel is completed but would have enjoyed seeing MORE pictures of newly completed areas. After all, I have been known to click on live construction pictures of sports stadiums on my phone to check on the progress.
Being able to incorporate the new within the old with such grace and homage is truly remarkable. Gehry has reached a new level of distinction.

Surprisingly and refreshing design by Mr. Gehry!
