i wonder how they are doing the stone at the waterline without using coffer dams, waterproof glue prehaps?
and all this stone work definitely explains partially why this has taken so long, this brings isn't going anywhere anytime soon, its definitely far far beefier than the "temporary walkway" that was built over at pleasure island.
its being built to practially road bridge standards, anyone know if this bridge is possibly on "emergency vehicle maps? which would definitely explain the extra bulk.

I've never seen one there, but I"m guessing the fire department has one of those paramedic golf carts parked somewhere at DD or will once the conversion is complete, as DS is suppose to be a town in the end.

i think it still looks great.....as much of a mall disney springs may be...the feel of it is much more appealing so far.

That looks fantastic. Cannot wait to see how this continues to develop.

I'm noting the volcano has scaffolding once again. Thought that came out of rehab last summer.

Yes, and it was more then a rehab, it was a complete re-build.

Correct - it's almost finished.

Correct - it's almost finished.

It was finished over a year ago. The scaffolding was only recently put back up.

I am referencing the rehab is almost complete. Well aware it was finished in general a year ago.

Marketplace Causeway construction photo update as of Sunday, Oct 19, 2014. The final portion of the causeway is getting its veneer of stone.

Metal supports for the causeway railings have been installed. Note they are raised from this "floor" to permit a decorative surface to be laid or poured.

The Rainforest Café end of the causeway has all the beige-colored cast concrete covered in plastic, probably to protect it from a soon-to-be poured surface, which would explain the rebar here on the top surface.

The T-Rex end of the causeway (next to Lego here) has its concrete surface laid now, with openings for installation of future buildings or features.

Marketplace Causeway construction photo update as of Friday, Oct 24, 2014.

Most of the causeway surface has newly poured concrete. Here you can see the workmen setting forms and rebar for a new section of the surface.

At the Rainforest Café end of the causeway, new rockwork is taking shape at the causeway entrance.

The other end of the causeway, near T-Rex café.

The lake side of the causeway is the final part to get the decorative stonework.

Photo update as of Thursday, Oct 30.

Some very substantial wooden posts are being installed as framing for the causeway railings. The wooden posts are pre-painted/stained.

An update on causeway surface preparation. You can see additional railing posts stacked up in the background, ready for installation.

The faux rockwork near the Rainforest Café end of the causeway has been painted.

At the T-Rex restaurant end of the causeway, foundation work is appearing for a new structure. The Lego store is on the left.

Any idea as to when this will open? Are they trying to get it done and open by thanksgiving?

Ahhh, love that weekly dose of Disney Springs photo updates. Keep them coming!

I get more excited over a concrete pedestrian walkway than avatar land.

My life is grand.

Well, at least it's a *really nice* concrete pedestrian walkway.

Photo update as of Friday, Nov 7, 2014. A "test installation" of the causeway railings was noted today. Appears to be an all wood design. Note the extra trim on the left post in the second picture.
