The Boston Marathon bombing memorial is coming together on Boylston Street
Bronze spires were installed at one of the blast sites Wednesday morning.
Four bronze spires now rise to the sky at 755 Boylston St. in memory of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.
This is just the beginning of the installation process for the memorials that will mark the two places pressure-cooker bombs exploded on April 15, 2013, killing three people and injuring hundreds more.
The memorials, which will feature light pillars, metal, and stone, are expected to be completed by the end of the summer, according to The Boston Globe.

The Marathon Markers will be a testament to the spirit and resiliency of the people of Boston, and a way to honor those we have lost, and those who are still healing.
As part of that work, today, bronze spires and glasswork are being installed on Boylston Street.#BostonStrong pic.twitter.com/R4LWZK4w3z
