The cladding is going on Dubai Metro

Not long till the first of the two metro stations near us in Dubai is finished, cladding almost complete.

I've no idea of the official opening date other than it will be fully operational by Expo 2020.

The photos were taken:
 September 29th, October 14th, 21st & 27th.

Note the little blue hut in the bottom center of each photo, it's where they do all their measuring from.
