The third time was the charm for the construction team at the site of the future 4909 Auburn Avenue apartments in Bethesda's Woodmont Triangle this past weekend. After a couple of weather delays in weeks past, the tower crane was assembled, joining several others on the downtown Bethesda skyline.
4909 Auburn Avenue, an 11-story apartment building, will house 167 residential units, ground-level retail/restaurant space, 3 levels of underground parking, and a pass-through that creates a new pedestrian connection between Imagination Stage and Battery Lane Urban Park. Potomac Development Group is the developer, BCT Design Group is the architect, and Donohoe is the construction contractor.
All the construction vehicles have been blocking access to street parking spaces and making it difficult to reach small businesses located nearby.
ReplyDeleteI would not like to have one of these things within smashing distance of my house. What sort of inspections do these tower cranes get form the county?
ReplyDeleteDaily inspection by the operator and quarterly by the company
DeleteYeah, thanks for the sleep that I'll never get back, Donahoe destructive desecraters!
ReplyDelete10L32: I agree. They don't get much foot traffic as it is.
ReplyDeleteThe Italian Market should make some sort of lunch special that would attractive to hungry construction workers.
