The Rio de Janeiro city government released its monthly 2016 Olympic Games venue construction update report this week. Within the report, data shows that work at the main competition cluster of Barra Olympic Park is now 92% complete, up 3% from September’s report. With less than a year out from the Opening Ceremonies, a total of 12 venues across the two Olympic Parks, Barra and Deodoro, are at least 90% complete.
The report reads specifically that the Olympic Aquatics Center, the venue at which competitive pool swimming and water polo events will take place, is now 94% complete, up from 89% in September. The Athletes’ village has also notably progressed, bumping up its completion percentage from 91 last month to 97 for October’s report.
