Pre-assembly of the launch truss is complete and final assembly of the launch truss inside the main truss has begun. The contractor also continued assembling the receiving tower at the west abutment last week.

Down in Portland, Oregon, the first loads of decking panels arrived for inspection. After inspection, they will be transported to Alaska via barge.
