Two days before the 7th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center, the city unveiled new additions to the memorial design. More images after the jump.


Two trident-shaped columns found in the wreckage will stand side-by-side in an evocation of the fallen towers.


The updates include a new version of the above-ground entrance pavilion, which will be surrounded by a grove of oak trees.


The main element of the design remains two cascading fountains in the footprint of the twin towers


Officials still hope to complete the shell of the pavilion in time for the 10th anniversary of the attack, in 2011, with the museum scheduled for completions several years later.
