THE demolition of Dursley's iconic Lister and Petter buildings continues as more of the old building is brought to the ground.

The job got underway on Wednesday, January 7, as Cuddy Dismantling and Demolition Group Ltd, based in Wales, began taking the building apart to make way for the next phase of the Littlecombe housing development.

One of Cuddy's machines could be seen prying apart the side of the building on Wednesday, January 21, and most of the factory has been completely hollowed out.

More delicate work will be carried out by the team on areas of the site that contain asbestos.

Cuddy have said they intend to be as sympathetic to the surrounding area as possible when tearing down the old factory and ensure noise pollution is kept to a minimum.

However, not all of the noises can be suppressed, and those around Dursley during the day may hear the distant sound of crashing as the structure is destroyed.

The demolition looks set to continue for another four to six weeks before the former industrial giant is completely levelled.

Many have expressed their sadness at the loss of such a significant former-employer in the town, including Dursley's mayor Jane Ball, but remain optimistic about the future and the regeneration that will take place courtesy of St Modwen after the Lister buildings are removed.

CINCINNATI Highway construction work resumed in Cincinnati even as investigations continue into the deadly collapse of an overpass exit ramp that was being demolished, Ohio transportation officials said yesterday.

The southbound lanes of I-75 re-opened Tuesday night, nearly 24 hours after a worker was killed in the overpass collapse, which covered the lanes with tons of concrete and steel.

The Ohio Department of Transportation had postponed other bridge work on Tuesday night, but it planned to close all northbound lanes from 11 p.m. yesterday until 5 a.m. today in a section north of downtown. The interstates lanes may be closed at other times as needed for work thats part of a three-year project scheduled to end in June 2016.

U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigators have been at the site, and other authorities are also probing the accident.

Transportation Department spokesman Brian Cunningham said the contractor, Kokosing Construction of Westerville, cleared the debris more quickly than expected, allowing inspections on Tuesday evening that found only a small pothole that needed repair.

There was very little damage to the roadway, he said.

Kokosings $91 million contract for the project makes it liable for any damages caused by the traffic shutdown. Cunningham said assessing damages against the contractor will be part of the investigation.

Kokosing official John Householder said in a statement yesterday that the construction company will work with the authorities to investigate and determine the cause of the collapse.

DEMOLITION DERBY | Dont Starve Together (World #4) | Ep.12 - Video

With the crack of metal against wood, and a rumble that briefly shook the sidewalk, the ornate molding that pointed skyward from the roof of the Louis Street house disappeared Tuesday morning into the jaws of an excavator's bucket. Within an hour, most of the building was on the street in a pile of bricks and debris, soon to be hauled away.

The long-vacant house at 1510 Louis in Camden's Whitman Park neighborhood, one of many that officials say have harbored crime over the years, was gone by Tuesday afternoon. In the coming months, close to 600 such buildings are to crumble to the ground, demolition that city officials hope will clear the way for community gardens, affordable housing, and other development.

"This is the time our residents and our children will begin to enjoy their safer and more vibrant neighborhoods," said Mayor Dana Redd, one of the local and state officials who gathered Tuesday to announce the launch of the city's long-awaited demolition project. "We are not done here."

When Redd was elected in 2009, she vowed to attack city blight. Now, she and other city leaders are working to secure federal funding that could help residents become homeowners, and encourage development so that the demolition sites won't stay empty.

"The next step is to envision what these spaces could be," she said.

For decades, Camden residents have lived among a growing number of buildings that are empty and in disrepair, often abandoned by owners who walked away or stopped paying taxes. A survey last year by the nonprofit group CamConnect and the Camden Community Development Association found that close to 15 percent of the nine-square-mile city's structures were vacant, and about 37 percent of the city's land could be considered empty if 8,000-odd vacant lots are included.

The demolitions will target what Camden officials call "the worst of the worst," first tearing down 62 buildings with funding from a federal grant.

The second phase of the project, the $8 million destruction of the rest of the structures on the list, will be financed by a bond to be paid off with revenue from a tax on city parking lots. There has been no start date set for that phase, but city officials said they hoped to finish within 18 months.

Many of the buildings set to be destroyed are in Whitman Park, known as one of Camden's roughest neighborhoods, where police say dealers have used boarded-up houses as storage for drugs and weapons. The 1500 block of Louis has been the scene of shootings and police raids in recent years.
