NEW YORK

The owners of ground zero have started a Web site to publicize the rebuilding of the World Trade Center, a day after saying many projects under way would be delayed and cost more.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on Friday launched http://www.wtcprogress.com. The site has photographs and video of construction projects at the 16-acre site, and offers a guide for tourists who visit ground zero.

The agency also lists the milestones it says it will meet to build a $3.2 billion transit hub, a Sept. 11 memorial and a 1,776-foot skyscraper at the site. The agency on Thursday announced new schedules and budgets for several projects at ground zero and says it will post updates on its progress four times a year.
