The Citgo gas station at 5471 Westbard Avenue in Bethesda was demolished this week. Now preparations are ramping up for the razing of two neighboring properties, Westwood Center II at 5110 Ridgefield Road, and Springhouse Manor Care of Westwood nursing home at 5101 Ridgefield. Fencing has gone up around Westwood Center II, and is beginning to encircle the long-vacant and crumbling nursing home across the street. Jiffy Johns have been delivered to the site, as well, reflecting the longer demolition time for these larger structures.

An assisted-living senior housing development will take the place of Westwood Center II and Citgo. About 50 EYA townhomes will eventually replace the nursing home, but I suspect that site will first be used as a staging area for the senior housing project, and the realignment of Westbard Avenue.
