Another tower crane jump was completed successfully at the Bally’s Casino hotel tower in River West over the weekend. Three growth spurts for the crane were approved with one permit back on November 13 of last year; we can expect to see one more jump here before the tower tops out.
A site visit Saturday showed a crew working on the tie-in for this jump at the 16th or 17th floor, with six new sections of the crane waiting on the ground. With the opening date looming, there appeared to be a full crew on hand, so the tower crane operator split time between moving cranes parts and lifting construction materials.
