By November, signs of the new Carrier Dome roof will be visible for the first time.
The first steel trusses that will make up the new roof will be going up in the coming weeks, Syracuse University Vice President and Chief Facilities Officer Pete Sala said on Monday.
Construction crews on the ground are readying plans to move the steel trusses, which Sala said are up to 80 to 90 feet long, into the area where the two cranes can begin to place them above the current roof.
The construction team is currently building a third steel pad near the Barnes Center at the Arch and Carrier Dome Gates G, H and F that will hold materials for the cranes.
