I haven't posted on the construction projects going on near my Arlington office in a while. Here are some photos from Friday 11/7.
The first is the wide view of the new BF Saul office tower site. Earlier blog posts from the January and February timeframe will show the demo of the buildings that used to be here. Site prep has been going on since then, but with the big crane set up on the side of the pit it looks like they are ready to erect the tower crane.
This close-up is of work going on with the dirt ramp. This has been fascinating to watch, as nearly every day they take down part of the ramp to work in the pit. Then the big machines have to rebuild it so that they can climb back out at the end of the day. Also, when the fuel trucks come to refuel the machines, there is a "gas line" up the ramp of all the vehicles, several of which are not visible in this shot.
With the tower crane going in across the street, my bet is that the parking garage construction will start imminently...will keep you posted.
This link will take you to the earlier post on the demo at the "ramp site": http://hawksbillcabin.blogspot.com/2008/03/meanwhile-back-in-arlington.html
