Turner Construction Company has begun a multiyear project to modernize the Space Needle\u2019s three iconic golden elevators in Seattle, Wash. The Space Needle observation tower is a designated landmark and an icon of the city.<\/p>\n

The project will begin with modifications to the building itself. Construction will take place at night to enable the Space Needle to continue serving the public. Elevators will be replaced one at a time to enable the two others to remain in use. The elevators travel outside the building and are the only way visitors can reach the top of the Space Needle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking on such a notable piece of the Seattle skyline is an honor,\u201d says Bill Ketcham, vice-president and general manager, Turner Construction Company. \u201cThe elevators are an integral part of the Space Needle, and we look forward to bringing them into the 21st<\/sup> century.\u201d<\/p>\n

The project is anticipated to take four years and the first elevator will be ready for visitors in May 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
