CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio transportation authorities say that the overpass demolition work that resulted in a fatal collapse onto Interstate 75 is part of a three-year, nearly $91 million project.

The Ohio Department of Transportation says that Westerville, Ohio-based Kokosing Construction Co. was in charge of the work. The firm also is responsible for cleanup of the hundreds of tons of concrete and steel that are covering southbound lanes in Cincinnati some five miles north of the Ohio River.

A worker was killed Monday night and tractor-trailer driver suffered minor injuries.
