Overview
- Engineers will lift the sign about 30 feet and shift it roughly 120 feet to an adjacent rooftop to reestablish its sightline.
- Crews will disassemble the sign, evaluate and refurbish panels as needed, then rebuild it to match its current appearance.
- A new truss support system will be built into the building’s core and roof at 660 Beacon Street to secure the installation.
- Contractors plan to use a 3D virtual model to guide the reconstruction and ensure precision.
- Start timing varies by report, with contractors saying work could begin any day and others citing a spring start, and the sign will be dark temporarily during the move.
