Spring Street Salt Shed
Concrete formwork has come down at the Spring Street Salt Shed, a companion project to the New York City Department of Sanitation's new garage along the West Side Highway in the Hudson Square neighborhood. The faceted concrete structure will house 4,000 tons of salt to combat the city's winter precipitation. Dattner Architects is designing the project, which looks to be ready for the upcoming winter season.
