Notification: Marriott Marquis: Tower Crane #2 Removal this Weekend

Tower Crane #2 has been on Massachusetts Avenue for more than a year

The following notification is issued by James Harper, Hensel Phelps

"This weekend the Marriott Project will be removing Tower Crane #2 (The third and final Tower Crane), which is located along Massachusetts Avenue. This operation involves some very serious critical picks from the additional crane being brought in to perform the task. Unfortunately, the erecting of the additional crane begins at 2AM Saturday morning, and has a few noises associated with that work. For most of the residents located North of L Street, this should not cause a disturbance. The pieces of the tower crane have to be removed, staged, loaded onto trucks, etc. Therefore two Northern lanes of Massachusetts Avenue will be completely closed between 9th and 10th Streets. Pedestrian traffic will be allowed along the sidewalk on the South side of Massachusetts Avenue. This work is expected to be complete Saturday evening, but no later than 12 Noon Sunday."

Probably a good idea to avoid Mass Ave. NW this weekend.....I probably won't be taking photo's, but if you want an idea of what it will look like go here  this was last weeks removal of tower crane #1
