Work to secure a partially collapsed and dangling crane above Manhattan’s 57th Street will begin tomorrow, in a plan that may clear the way for residents and businesses on the block to return by nighttime on Nov. 5.
The crane’s boom, now hovering over the sidewalk, will be secured to the 90-story tower in a maneuver that will take about 36 hours, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
