Indianapolis demolition works knocks column out of true.
A demolition mishap moved a support column for Interstate 465 about six inches out of being level Tuesday morning on the city’s west side.
INDOT spokesman Harry Maginty tells 24-Hour news 8 everything is stable and the shift poses no danger to motorists or construction crews.
Maginty tells us workers were demolishing a steel girder on the I-70 bridge over I-465 when the girder didn’t break off as expected. Instead, it pushed a support column from Westbound 465 to Northbound 465 out of level approximately 6 inches.
INDOT’s district construction engineer was called to the scene to evaluate the situation. The displaced column is currently being support with three shoring towers.
