Marriott construction site tower cranes to be installed June 21

The development partners for Marriott International's relocating Bethesda headquarters have announced that the twin tower crane installations will now take place starting June 21, 2019. Two cranes will be erected at the construction site, located at 7750 Wisconsin Avenue.

Marriott's contractor has requested a nighttime noise waiver for the crane installations, and for related concrete pours. This will allow them to exceed noise limits if working overnight. Weather, as always, could impact the schedule. Installation of crane 1 had been planned for June 8.

Pedestrian traffic, and southbound vehicle traffic, along Wisconsin Avenue will be affected during the crane installation process. Watch for flagmen and signage around the site.
