Tower crane installation on former Exxon site in Bethesda scheduled for April 13, 2024


A contractor for developer Greystar's apartment tower project at 7340 Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda is expecting to erect a tower crane on the site on April 13, 2024, weather permitting. To assemble the massive crane, a smaller crane will be brought in that day around 2:00 AM. The smaller crane will be positioned on Montgomery Lane between Woodmont Avenue and Wisconsin Avenue, requiring that street to be temporarily shut down. Work, and removal of the assisting crane from Montgomery Lane, are anticipated to be complete by 9:00 PM that evening - - if all goes according to plan.

The contractor has requested a nighttime noise waiver from Montgomery County for the work. Should inclement weather interfere, the assembly will be postponed to a rain date to be determined. 7340 Wisconsin was previously occupied by an Exxon gas station, which has been demolished amid site preparation.
