Crews Install Glass Plates At WTC Transportation Hub, Moving Project Closer To Completion
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A major step is being taken at the World Trade Center transportation hub, where glass installation started this week, bringing a flood of natural light to the space.

Plate is the head of World Trade Center construction for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. He told WCBS 880's Peter Haskell the 5-foot-by-10-foot panels will reach a height of about 100 feet.
