4500 EAST-WEST HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION UPDATE (PHOTOS)

You can see the progress at the Carr "Class A" office building construction site at 4500 East-West Highway in these photos.

Much like Lot 31 at Bethesda Row, they are working on the underground parking garage at this building, which is on the former site of the Bethesda McDonald's restaurant.

All of these photos but one were taken at the end of June (but this is the first time they are being published online). In those photos, the lowest level of the parking garage was just beginning to take shape.

One new photo below was just emailed by a helpful reader this week. As you hopefully can notice, the bottom level of the garage is in place. More interesting, is that you can not only see the next garage level taking shape, but the graded ramps you will drive on to get from one level to the next, as well.

Here's an extra hint on how to tell which photo is from this week: it's the one in which the blue bottom segment of the tower crane has "disappeared" (it's actually hidden beneath the floor of the upper garage level).
