Portions of S.W. Harrison Street near the Capitol will be closed this week for the arrival of a J.E. Dunn Construction tower crane involved in the Kansas Statehouse preservation and restoration project. The Comansa 21 LC 400 tower crane will be used during the exterior masonry restoration project, said Jim Rinner, project manager for J.E. Dunn Construction. The crane eventually will be the tallest free-standing tower crane in North America, Rinner said. It will stand 340 feet above ground to permit the horizontal boom to pass above the Ad Astra statue on top of the dome.
