What's the latest status on the Roosevelt Island Tram Modernization Project? According to RIOC President Steve Shane's latest Report (item 2):
Tram: Currently, sixteen weeks after shutdown, POMA advises that the schedule for reopening has fallen behind by about a month to the first week of October. The Contractor has offered a variety of excuses for the delay, chief among them being crane availability. Station work proceeds apace at both ends. A crane was delivered to the Island by barge on June 2. The top of the Island tower is in place. On to Manhattan. Preliminary architectural design for station improvements continues. There will be a community presentation for reaction, comment and decisions about trade-offs.More on earlier work at the Roosevelt Island Tram Tower and the original construction schedule for the Tram Modernization Project including shutting down traffic near the Manhattan Tram Station

I can accept that unexpected complications have led to delays in the project, but what I don't understand is how we could suddenly end up a month behind without much notice.
I know that we had some indication recently that things had slowed down, but it still seems like a one month delay (on a six month project) should have been seen earlier?
this and more was already expected
