据拉斯维加斯评论报报道，拉斯维加斯赌场地带的美高梅公园和橱窗大厦附近的一条带自动扶梯的人行天桥，在7月和11月推迟两次以后，预计在新年夜正式开通投入使用。信源称11月推迟完工是由于无法预计的使用问题及安装自动扶梯。当地政府发言人称这些设备是由蒂森克虏伯电梯公司提供的。“等了近60天才收到这批电梯和自动扶梯，比我们预计的要长，”，发言人说道，“目前我们社区有许多重要项目在开发，这也是导致推迟完工的一个原因。”。
PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE, ESCALATORS SLATED TO OPEN IN LAS VEGAS
A raised pedestrian bridge between Park MGM and Showcase Mall on the Las Vegas Strip is expected to open before New Year’s Eve following two previous delays in July and November, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. The source says the latest delay was due to unexpected utility issues and acquiring the escalators that serve the bridge. Clark County Office of Public Communications spokesman Dan Kulin said that the units were manufactured by thyssenkrupp. “Acquiring the elevators and escalators for the pedestrian bridge project took about 60 days longer than we anticipated,” he shared. “There’s a significant amount of development occurring in our community now, and we believe that played a role in the delay.”
