In a spring break ghost town, the most noise in Tuscaloosa this week came from the western fringe of the Alabama campus.

Construction crews were still working on the Bryant-Denny Stadium renovations and the handful of residential buildings going up in its shadow.

Coronavirus-related statewide restrictions on gatherings have not impacted the work on Alabama’s 101,821-seat football stadium.

“The construction continues,” Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne said Thursday afternoon. “We’re on schedule. It’s been a wet spring but I can tell you we’ve had a regular conversation with our general contractor to make sure they’re taking necessary steps during this new reality we’re in.”

Byrne, on a teleconference with local reporters, was later asked if could see a point where the outbreak worsened to a point construction would be halted.

“Obviously, the health and wellness has been a driver here,” Byrne said. “And as you can imagine, we work within the university system and then with the contractors. We’re in constant communication about that and we’ll continue to. That’s what our focus will be.”

Work on the $92.5 million first phase of the renovation began in November with a tight deadline for completion. It must be done by the Sept. 12 home opener with Georgia State with luxury seating and locker room reconfigurations making up the bulk of the project.

Two workers were injured in a January accident involving falling concrete beams. Work continued after a brief slowdown in the aftermath of the accident still under investigation by OSHA.
