MSG reiterated to Construction Dive that the transition involving AECOM was not about any disagreement or problem with contractor’s work but about the expansion of MSG’s construction capabilities. An AECOM statement to Construction Dive echoed that sentiment: “Our relationship with MSG Entertainment remains strong and we’re proud of our ongoing involvement to help deliver this transformational project.”
In fact, this month construction hit a critical milestone with the erection of two 240-ton steel girders that sit 140 feet off the ground and will span the length of the stage that will help support the remaining superstructure and the 13,000-ton roof.
