Get a Load of our "Beamers" They're not sleek, fast or equipped with leather interiors. But they are strong and able to carry awhole lot more than a sports car. Beams made of steel or pre-stressed concrete are the musclebeneath the rebuilt I-71/670 interchange, each one designed for the bridges and overpasses they will support.

Rescue Drill In The Construction Zone Columbus fire and heavy rescue crews got the call. "Injured man trapped on a bridge structure nearJack Gibbs Boulevard." But the call was only a drill. Firefighters and rescue specialists conducted a series of practice rescues on a recent Sunday to gain real-world experience working in an activeconstruction zone. Even though it was a mock rescue, everything was done as if it were the real thing. A total of fivecrews rotated through the rescue drill while construction activity in the zone was relatively quiet forthe weekend. Both ODOT and contractor Kokosing make project site safety a priority every day. We're pleased topartner with the Columbus Division of Fire on this rescue drill.
