The Christ Church Cathedral Reinstatement Project also released its new concept designs for the "Cathedral Quarter" yesterday morning, which included the reinstated cathedral, two new buildings, the rebuilt tower, and landscaping. Project director, Keith Paterson, said crews lifted a 30-tonne steel frame into place against the south west transept. Tall fences that have surrounded the site for years would also have to be removed at some point. "They're in a location at the moment that is constraining us with some of our work," said Paterson.
