Where are the iconic Times Square numerals, and why is the Waterford crystal ball dark?

NEW YORK -- Just days into the new year, the iconic Times Square numerals are missing and the Waterford crystal ball is in the dark.

But officials say not to worry.

A spokesperson for the property says even though the 2023 billboard is still lit up, the numbers above the ball have been temporarily removed because of a redevelopment plan at One Times Square.

They will be put back later this year.

The crystal ball will remain with temporary outages due to construction.
