Final Queens Post Truss Installed at U.S. Bank Stadium
Earlier this week, the final of 11 queens post trusses was installed at U.S. Bank Stadium. The trusses, which run north and south off of the main ridge truss, will help support the stadium’s ETFE roof on the south side and the metal hard deck materials on the north side. In the coming weeks, the green shoring towers will be disassembled and removed from the site, allowing the roof of the nearly 70-percent complete stadium to be self-standing. The stadium will be fully enclosed in November, when work will ramp up on the interior allowing for a July 2016 opening.
