Contractor fears bridge delay if crane use denied By DAVID PATCH, Toledo Blade
More than two months after the accident that killed four workers and injured four others, contractor Fru-Con, Inc., of Ballwin, Mo., has told the Ohio Department of Transportation it would prefer to use the remaining crane when it resumes assembling the $220 million bridge, ODOT spokesman Joe Rutherford said.
Whether Fru-Con will be allowed to use the crane, however, remains to be determined. The discussion will include ODOT, Fru-Con, local Ironworkers and other trade unions, and the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
"Everybody has to agree ... that it is absolutely safe to use that truss [crane]," Mr. Rutherford said. "If there's not a consensus among the groups we've discussed, cost is secondary to safety."------------------------------------------- posted 6:49 AM :: reference link ::
