Crane Lift – Gies Memorial Stadium

To support a lighting upgrade project at Gies Memorial Stadium, occupancy is not allowed in the designated crane lift areas, as shown on the project staging plans (link below), for the specified date and time periods. The contractor will also establish related traffic control methods in nearby locations. Additionally, the project team is coordinating with the facilities staff of the affected unit about these restrictions to ensure that no individuals are within the crane boundary when the work commences.
