He said Swank currently has 100 employees working on the ground in close proximity of each other, with 50 of those employees who are staying in one local hotel. He said they took this action on their own accord out of caution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the information that we received. \u2026 They are doing this on their own accord,\u201d Clark explained. He said there are additional sub-contractors working with Swank on the project as well.<\/p>\n<p>As of Tuesday afternoon, Clark said as an agency, the West Virginia DOH was still working, but officials continue to monitor and evaluate what they are going to do as an agency.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after general contractor Swank Construction was awarded the $215 million project late last summer, they immediately began site preparation in many areas around the city. The project includes the rehabilitation or replacement of 26 bridges on I-70 in Ohio County over more than a two-year construction schedule, with the full replacement of the two of the I-70 Fulton Bridges that span Wheeling Creek.<\/p>\n<p>Efforts to contact Swank officials were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swank Construction Idling Construction on I-70 Bridges Project (A work site beneath the I-70 bridges along a section of Fulton Street in Wheeling was idle Tuesday.)
