Assembly of a gantry crane for the construction of the new south entrance to the Bethesda Metro station continues on Elm Street. In addition to the framelike structure, you can now see part of the actual crane machinery has been installed. The Metro station platform is 120' below street level, and space is constrained between the 7200 Wisconsin property and the Hampden House construction site across Elm Street. I believe this is the first time this type of crane has been utilized in Bethesda.
Considering its nature and current location, maybe this should be called the Elm-er Gantry.
ReplyDeleteWell played, @1:35. Perhaps that explains how the Purple Line was foisted on us.
