Another hectic week of activity at Everton Stadium produced a double installation of roof trusses to ensure two thirds of the sections have now been put into place.
The steel roofing structure at Everton's 52,888 capacity future home at Bramley-Moore Dock took two big steps closer to completion following a double installation in the past seven days. The penultimate 100-tonne section has been hoisted into place in the centre of the north stand, leaving just one section to complete the second and final full-span truss.
Similarly, the south stand saw the central section of the second full-span truss lifted into position. This larger stand, which will eventually house 13,000 Evertonians, supports three trusses in total.

Each full-span truss consists of three sections with five of the six sections in the north stand now completed and five of the nine sections in the south stand done to ensure 10 of the eventual 15 have now been erected. That leaves five sections still to be installed, one in the north stand and four in the south stand.
Elsewhere, the internal fit-out continues in the west and east stands, with the first MEP modules which house the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, currently being installed.
Externally, the brick facades continue to expand at both northern ends of the building, with new vertical sections now being installed in the east stand, beyond the north eastern core.
