London 2012 - construction webcams

New Olympic Park cameras will give public front-row seatLondon 2012 has switched on six new cameras that let the public see the work taking place to deliver the Olympic Park venues and infrastructure.Each of the new ‘ParkCams’ take pictures regularly throughout the day. The latest images are updated automatically for all to see. The cameras are pointing at some of the Park’s major venues currently under construction, including the Olympic Stadium, Aquatics Centre and the Olympic Village. Other cameras point to where the new Energy Centre is being built and provide a wider view of the Park. ODA Chairman John Armitt said: ‘The Olympic Park changes every day due to the scale of regeneration taking place across the site. These new ParkCams will give the public a front row seat, making sure they don’t miss any developments as the work to build the venues and infrastructure needed for the Games and legacy accelerates.’ The cameras will show updated still images throughout the day and will be accessible via the London 2012 website - http://www.london2012.com/plans/olym...cams/index.php
