It's a sure sign that things are moving forward on the Burlington Town Center redevelopment project-- the mall is coming down.

Crews on Wednesday began tearing down one of the old mall's original buildings in preparation for new construction. Portions of Bank Street and Pine Street were closed for a short time and will close again at times in the coming weeks.

After the teardown, there will be excavation at the site, concrete work and then the new buildings will start to go up.
