Learned today that RIOC has been advised by POMA that work has fallen behind on the Roosevelt Island Tram Modernization Project. The scheduled resumption of service has been pushed back from late August/early September to October 1. Will have more on this later.
Meanwhile, received the following Advisories from RIOC regarding the Roosevelt Island Tram Modernization Program:

There will be some delays with regard to the RIOC Red Bus and Q102 buses as well as traffic delays. Please allow for extra travel time.
Please be advised effective 6:00 a.m. Thursday, June 3, 2010, West Drive Road will be closed for South Bound Traffic and vehicles will be re-routed to New Main Street. The loop will become one way for a period of at least one week. Tram Road will be closed from the Fountain turn around to West Drive due to the presence of a crane that will be working on the replacement of the top of the Tram tower. Traffic will be allowed to continue around Sports Park or Goldwater Hospital to West Drive.
A detailed map is attached for your convenience.

No one really believed the tram would be back by the promised date.

If the Tram is delayed, does RIOC plan to operating the Red Bus to Manhattan in September-October?
I believed that it would, but I understand that this delay is caused by the city-wide embargo on cranes - and we don't want cranes falling on the island!
