Nighttime Work at Lot 31 Through March

Nighttime work at Lot 31 (along Bethesda Avenue at Woodmont Avenue in downtown Bethesda) continues through late March, the Town of Chevy Chase reported on its website.

"The nighttime work involves pouring concrete that will comprise the large beams that support the weight of the above grade buildings and roadway. Due to the volume of concrete involved, and the consequent number of cement trucks needed, the work hours need to be expanded beyond the normal daytime construction hours (7 a.m. to 5 p.m.) in order to alleviate traffic congestion and impacts to pedestrian safety," the town reported.

The nighttime work will occur on two nights a week, starting at 3 a.m. "The contractor for the project has obtained a temporary noise waiver from the county for the nighttime work."

An underground parking garage with 940 public spaces and two mixed-use residential buildings—one five stories, the other nine stories—are planned for the site. The buildings—collectively called "The Darcy"—will include luxury condominiums and about 8,600 square feet of retail space. Retail will include boutique shops and "a signature restaurant," according to thedarcy.com.

To lodge a noise complaint, contact the county’s Department of Environmental Protection at 240-777-7746.
