據拉斯維加斯評論報報道，拉斯維加斯賭場地帶的美高梅公園和櫥窗大廈附近的一條帶自動扶梯的人行天橋，在7月和11月推遲兩次以后，預計在新年夜正式開通投入使用。信源稱11月推遲完工是由于無法預計的使用問題及安裝自動扶梯。當地政府發(fā)言人稱這些設備是由蒂森克虜伯電梯公司提供的。“等了近60天才收到這批電梯和自動扶梯，比我們預計的要長，”，發(fā)言人說道，“目前我們社區(qū)有許多重要項目在開發(fā)，這也是導致推遲完工的一個原因。”。

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.”
