So looks like they start things this may as originally planned, but yeah the new roof itself won't go on until next spring. They will construct the outer frame skeleton including pounding and placing very deep down stansions all around the dome.

The cranes they will be bringing in and using for this will be the biggest in the history of any Syracuse construction project (ever!), (something like 2,000,000 pounds/1000 ton cranes).  This because this is not a from scratch project where they can have access from inside, but rather the cranes will need to be big enough, tall enough, strong enough, and supportive enough to lean over the top of the current structure.

Something like 28 wide loader 18 wheeler tractor trailers will be needed to bring in the parts for each crane that will then be constructed on site which will take weeks in itself just to put them together.   This is going to be one hell of a project.
