Work resumes at casino where garage collapsed By Amy S. Rosenberg
IATLANTIC CITY - Work quietly resumed yesterday on portions of the $245 million hotel tower and expansion at the Tropicana Casino Resort, nearly five weeks after four workers were killed in the collapse of a parking garage under construction there.
The garage remained off limits, its cracked concrete layers and hanging rebar suspended in a giant cascade of debris. Demolition is expected to begin in four to six weeks, said Tom Foley, Atlantic City's emergency management chief.
But on Iowa Avenue, a single cement mixer turned, the truck parked where the bodies of the four men had been carried out by their colleagues Oct. 30.
33 days after Trop crash, construction begins again By JOE WEINERT
Tropicana's owner, Phoenix-based Aztar Corp., said work resumed on the 504-room hotel tower and part of the five-acre themed retail village called The Quarter.
'I'm sure there are enough eyes on the job to make sure it's safe for everyone to go back in,' said Ed Rafferty, superintendent for Safway Steel Scaffolds of Folcroft, Pa.
No construction work is allowed in the integrated parking garage, where the collapsed concrete decks and twisted rebar remain in plain sight. Aztar and Keating officials declined comment on the status of the demolition or removal of the affected portions.------------------------------------------- posted 6:41 AM :: reference link ::
