Looks like may have started pouring concrete on the outer ring. If true, it should go pretty quickly from there.
From the CRS-12 webcast looks like more work done on the 2nd landing pad.
The St. Johns River Water Management District granted SpaceX permission to move ahead with changes to Landing Zone 1 ... in a document filed on Monday. SpaceX and the Air Force, which owns the land, submitted the environmental permit for stormwater infrastructure on July 31...."This modification will be for the addition of the Dragon Site in the former South Pad area, which will include a Dragon Processing Facility and static fire test stand," one of the documents reads.The new facilities, totaling 7.6 acres in size, will be located to the southwest of the pad...SpaceX was granted permission in April 2017 to begin constructing a second landing pad to the north of the first
I really wish we could read the text in their graphic to better understand the elements. Has anyone seen an original for this floating around?

SpaceX would like to perform further testing of a radar altimeter on board a helicopter nearby the Cape Canaveral AFS. Emission will last between several minutes to half an hour in duration. All tests will be radiating from the helicopter, with the antenna pointed directly at the ground. All testing based out of Cape will be pre-coordinated with CCAFS.

Looks like the North pad is progressing nicely. Not 100% certain but looks like about half of the concrete has been poured. https://www.instagram.com/p/BaCPZEWl253/?taken-by=tedwardmeyer
And, if memory serves, the new landing pad will not be much larger than the 'bulls eye' of the first landing pad.

One of these half circles (out of 4) appears to be pored. So, I'd say they are over halfway done.
