Impressive progress
Beijing Worker’s Stadium taking shape, this time one can see the outside perimeter and the rooftop being constructed.
See here earlier posts of what is going on in our gongti area:
See pictures taken 30 October and 18 November 2021.
The construction area is immense and as said earlier, other arenas and buildings are coming up besides the main stadium.
The area also has many container buildings to house the dormitories and offices for the construction companies.
Leaving across the street I must say we have no any problems and have not been hindered by the huge construction, despite a continuous flow of concrete mixers and other heavy trucks. Many start delivering in the late evening and it is all pretty efficiently organized.
What we can expect
See here how the stadium looked around 1959, seen from the south. The whole area around it has changed dramatically. And a few pictures of what we can expect.
Here also an article in Chinese with Google translation about the new stadium.
“In 2023, the new sports club will host the opening and closing ceremonies and finals of the Asian Cup.”
I keep you posted of the progress, thanks to a Dutch lady who makes the panoramic pics from her apartment.
