Tall steel supports have been installed outside the scrim-covered fence near Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, marking the start of a permanent wall separating it from Piston Peak National Park.
Concrete work continues on retaining walls, with the tallest section mostly filled except for some rebar. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is set to reopen in just over a week as final preparations are underway.
Additional construction includes extended walls near Country Bear Musical Jamboree, demolition of nearby kiosks, and ongoing refurbishment of the boardwalk. Scrim and excavation work are visible throughout the Frontierland area.
