BALTIMORE — On Friday, The Baltimore City Department of Transportation announced that a portion of Fayette Street will temporarily close for a crane lift operation.
BGE is coordinating with the Baltimore City Office of Emergency Management and a crane contractor to safely remove two window maintenance platforms currently secured to the east-facing side of 2 Center Plaza in downtown Baltimore. The scaffolding was damaged as a result of the construction accident that occurred on Wednesday, while contractors were working on the building’s air handling and boiler system.
