(Above) Wooden scaffolding, seen here earlier this month from a balcony on the 59th floor of the west tower at Marina City, snakes around the base of the east tower and the east side of the west tower. As concrete repair continues this year, the scaffolding will protect the plaza level from potential debris. Photo by Mark Ulaszek. Click on image to view larger version.
