Two additional construction cranes have been erected at the Twinbrook Quarter site. The second crane went up on February 27 and the third a couple weeks later. The site will include Montgomery County’s second Wegmans location. All of the work will be done within the confines of the site, so no road closures are necessary. The second crane is located on the northwest corner of the construction site, along Route 355. The third crane is located on the east side of the site, mid-block along the future Chapman Avenue. The first crane is located within the site, on the corner of Halpine Road and Route 355.

Foundation work has also started. Crews started pouring the foundation for the first building, starting at the bottom of the underground garage in February. This work will continue for “quite a while” according to Twinbrook Quarter website. Excavation of the site will continue for until the end of March or so.
