According to a representative from Delta Demolition, Dykon Explosive Demolition out of Tulsa, Okla., 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 intot he Ohio River. A man lift was used for the personal inspection to make it easy to measure hard to reach areas.

The expected blast date for the bridge is estimated to be the end of September to early October.
