BALTIMORE – On Friday, the Baltimore City Department of Transportation announced that part of Fayette Street will be temporarily closed for crane lift operations.
BGE is coordinating with the Baltimore City Emergency Management Office and a crane contractor to safely remove two window maintenance platforms currently attached to the east side of 2 Center Plaza in downtown Baltimore. The scaffolding was damaged in the construction accident on Wednesday when contractors were working on the building’s air handling and boiler system.
