According to the latest local news report, much of the park's main steel structure and infrastructure will be completed this year. Most of the ride installation will take place in 2020. In addition there's an onsite nursery for foliage that will eventually be used as the park's landscaping and by May of this year the entire nursery will be operational with more than 2,600 shrubs and trees.

In a news video (embedded below) we get a great look at the construction taking place at the park especially of Hogwarts Castle/the ride building for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and the footers in front are for Flight of the Hippogriff. The news video is talking about the Beijing government's urban management department working to ensure that as springtime begins construction sites including Universal Beijing are controlling the dust and dirt from blowing around etc.
