Scaffolding is a movable structure on which workers stand or sit while working high above the ground. Nick Sturge, project manager for Sir Robert McAlpine's special projects, said removing the scaffolding was an important step in the $107 million project. Hundreds of workers are involved in the effort to fix the structure built in 1859. The clock tower of Britain's Houses of Parliament has been hidden in a repair project for over three years. Big Ben's famous clock will appear in time for it to do its most important yearly activity: marking the start of the New Year for thousands of people on London’s streets and millions more watching on television.
