A worker was injured in a fall into one of the columns on the downtown crossing portion of the Ohio River Bridges Project on Saturday.
The Jeffersonville, Indiana Fire Department’s Confined Space Rescue Team responded to a call of a fallen worker at 2:04 p.m. at the bridge construction area, according to Jeffersonville Fire Department Public Information Officer Sgt. Justin Ames.
The worker, who was on a ladder to secure a support structure, fell between 10 to 15 feet off a ladder and into a hole, where one of the support pillars for the bridge would be, according to Ames.
Jeffersonville Fire Department was on the scene within 3 minutes and had the worker out within 15 minutes.
The worker suffered relatively minor injuries, according to Clair Nichols, a spokesman for Walsh Construction.
