Citi Field construction halted again

Earlier this year, a water main break delayed a Mets game due to the construction on Citi Field. This time around, a cement-truck drivers strike has stopped construction on the new stadium.

From the AP:

The strike began on Tuesday, when more than 400 cement-truck drivers joined the labor action by Teamsters Local 282.

The walkout affected projects including the Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center site, where rebuilding has already been delayed and is over budget, and new baseball stadiums under construction for the Yankees and the Mets.

Unions! Hopefully it will pick up soon so the Mets (and the Yankees, I guess) have a home next year.

Is it just me or every time I see construction photos of Citi Field and the new Yankees Stadium, it always seems like Citi is much further along in the process? Who knows.
