Question:

What is the giant crane for in downtown Pittsburgh?

Building a new skyscraper? Tearing down the old Mellon Arena?

Answer:

PITTSBURGH -- Construction is continuing downtown on the new, 30-story Three PNC Plaza, which is scheduled for completion later this year. On Saturday, a giant crane from Philadelphia was brought to the construction site on Fifth Avenue to hoist massive steel girders into place. The girders weigh more than 89,000 pounds and will support a third-floor ballroom.
Get ready for the new tower.
