Demolition plans for the bridge over Green Street and the adjoining helix are still on, despite reports of nasty weather.

Ithaca, NY city clerk Julie Holcomb said that crews should still be able to work in the rain and high winds, though lightning will be a concern.

The two structures are being removed to make room for a retail, office and residential building planned for the spot.

Holcomb said they're not sure yet what the predicted stormy weather will mean for those hoping to get a glimpse of the demolition. A viewing area will be set up for the public in the parking lot adjacent to the Tompkins County Public Library.
