One black and white photograph of construction work that is underway for the new Civic Center redevelopment project in downtown Detroit. The view looks westward and shows temporary construction barricades in the foreground along with a large area of excavation. A steam-powered pile driver, an excavator, construction cranes, and piles of earth/debris are also visible in the project area. Various office/commercial buildings are faintly visible in the foggy atmosphere including the Veterans Memorial Building (center left) and the Norton Hotel (far right).
