ARLINGTON, Va. – Amazon deliveries may be delayed for some folks because of the coronavirus, but construction of Amazon’s new Virginia headquarters is moving right along, with piledriving work so loud it's driving the stuck-at-home neighbors crazy.
For weeks on end, the relentless clang and bang from construction equipment preparing foundations for the online giant's new headquarters has reverberated throughout Arlington County's Pentagon City neighborhood.
Starting at 8 a.m. each weekday, residents essentially locked into their nearby high-rise apartments can't escape the nerve-rattling noise, rhythmically pounding more than 40 times each minute.
