Construction crews have a work-around for the delay in steel delivery, which is now expected by the end of next month, as the building of the new municipal complex in Ship Bottom moves ahead.

“During the lag (in construction of the building), they (crews) will work on the retaining walls so they won’t fall too far behind in the project,” Borough Councilman Joe Valyo said March 22.

Valyo oversees the project for the governing body and delivered an update of the work during his committee report at the borough council’s meeting last week.

Among the recent work done at the site was the final pour of concrete for the slab, he said.
