After more than four years of being covered by mountainous scaffolding, portions of both Pearl Street and Lynn Street surrounding the Rhodes State Office Building are finally seeing the light of day.
Scaffolding that was erected in late 2016 at the start of the state tower's now nearly four-year-long improvement project is now coming down as construction work enters its final stages of completion, said Melissa Vince, a spokesperson for the Department of Administrative Services.
Vince said the scaffolding – also called canopies – covering Pearl Street has been removed, and the portion covering Lynn Street will be completely removed near the end of July.
