Part of the larger Downtown Crossing project, which has officially begun over the summer, a building of 425,000 sq ft rising 13 stories will soon evolve on this site. Before the foundation can be poured, road construction needs to be done to allow vehicular access to the site.

"Payloaders from John Moriarty & Associates moved dirt in the area where the foundation will be poured for Alexion Pharmaceuticals' research headquarters. DeStefano noted the Alexion building was recently increased in scope from 11 floors to 13 as the company added 75,000 square feet to plans. Its construction will begin later this year and last until 2015."
"The work involved dirt-moving, a crane at the ready for the culvert sections, with drainage pipes lined up for placement soon, as traffic moved steadily on the north and south sides of the work. C.J. Fucci Construction is doing road work to turn the Route 34 highway into urban boulevards that reconnect neighborhoods separated by what some have called the 'highway to nowhere.'"
