Mesothelioma and Asbestos

Construction on a recent $20 million overpass in Fort Meyers, Florida has been delayed for several months due to the discovery of asbestos contamination. Posen Construction was ordered to halt construction on the Summerlin Road project when the asbestos chunks were discovered. A consultant was hired to help uncluttered up the site as well as find any additional sources of contamination that may be hidden in the overpass foundations.

Six cubic feet of asbestos has been documented, but the consultant’s report states that there could be more. Cleanup of the contaminated soil will begin in a few weeks, as well as Posen Construction has volunteered to work day as well as night to total construction once the issue is addressed as well as the project is back on track.
