Bethesda construction update: Marriott International/hotel (Video+Photos)

Large-scale concrete pours will begin at 5:30 AM starting this week at the Marriott construction site at 7750 Wisconsin Avenue in downtown Bethesda. The concrete placements will continue every weekday through this fall, Marriott International's development partners say. Recent inclement weather has also required extra work to be made up this weekend, they report.

Starting this week, extensive work will begin to construct underground utility vaults for the hotel portion of the project. Work on the utility vaults for the relocating North Bethesda Marriott HQ is nearly finished. Work on the hotel vaults is expected to continue through the spring, and will require more excavation and trucks to haul that dirt and rock away.
