Has Dykon got the Bellaire Bridge contract…

Tulsa-based company has been measuring up in Benwood.

Even though the blast date is still several months away, it is a contract that has been the subject of more than it’s fair share of controversy and contractual issues. But, according to local TV news channel WTRF7, the Bellaire Bridge is one step closer to getting demolished as inspections were underway Wednesday.

According to a representative from Delta Demolition, Dykon Explosive Demolition out of Tulsa was in Benwood taking measurements of the bridge for planning purposes and to determine how much the bridge will actually be exposed once it falls into the Ohio River.

No word as yet on what AED’s Eric Kelly has to say about this turn of events.
