The Sept. 11 Memorial is on track to be opened on the 10th anniversary of the attacks, officials said Tuesday.
Workers have framed in steel the memorial's mammoth reflecting pools, and 60% of the concrete for the project has been poured.
"The memorial pools are now clearly defined in steel, marking an exciting and visible milestone," said Sept. 11 Memorial & Museum President Joe Daniels.
In the next several weeks, workers will install the acre-sized pools with granite lining. Surrounding the pools will be a grove containing about 400 oak trees, which are growing at a site in New Jersey and will begin to be planted this year.
"Opening the 9/11 Memorial on the 10th anniversary of the attacks is our highest priority, and the framing of the signature pools is a tangible sign that we are continuing to make significant progress to meet our commitment," said Port Authority Executive Director Chris Ward.
While the memorial is slated to be opened on Sept. 11, 2011, the museum is not expected to be completed until the following year.
