FIRST LOOK: NEW BETHESDA PARKING GARAGE ENTRANCES (PHOTOS)

Even after dark, there is a lot of activity at the Lot 31 construction site across from Bethesda Row. Concrete was being lifted up to the balcony of a future luxury suite at one of the two residential buildings under construction for StonebridgeCarras by Clark Construction. Meanwhile, a wall near the Capital Crescent Trail was removed.

Most significantly, we are getting our first glimpse of the pedestrian and vehicles entrances for the eagerly-awaited 900-space public parking garage beneath the mammoth project along Bethesda and Woodmont Avenues. The garage has been expected to open next month, even as work on the residential and retail spaces above ground continues.
