The roof was being hydraulically lifted 20 feet, almost in the final position before securing it permanently onto the pavilion. It was being raised as part of a renovation project. IMP founder Seth Hurwitz, who operates the Merriweather Post Pavilion, said in a statement that the roof will be rebuilt and the venue will be ready for the season opening.
