"Never once during this process have we stopped working or, for that matter, moved backwards," spokesperson Matt Maisel said via email."Building the temp structure is simply moving slower than we would have hoped right now. Make no mistake though, we are progressing forward." Officials say they never set a firm date for the temporary structure to open—and won't—because they cannot foresee supply chain issues and conflicts with contractor availability.
