The Germanium Detector Array (GERDA) in the search for neutrinoless beta beta decays of Ge-76 at LNGS will operate bare germanium diodes enriched in Ge-76 in an (optional active) cryogenic (76) shield to investigate neutrinoless beta beta decay with a sensitivity of T-1/ 2 > 2 x 10(26) yr after an exposure of 100 kg yr. Recent progress includes the installation of the underground infrastructures at Gran Sasso, the completion of the enrichment of 37.5 kg of germanium material for detector construction, prototyping of low-mass detector support and contacts, and front-end and DAQ electronics, as well as the preparation for construction of the cryogenic vessel and water tank.
