AIS helps keep Ohio drivers safe

In late July AIS scaled rocks from a slope above Route 7 along the Ohio River.  On July 21 a rockslide closed the westbound lanes of Route 7 just across the river from Huntington, West Virginia.  The Ohio Department of Transportation concluded that more rocks were in danger of coming down, so they brought in the Alan Stone Company of Cutler, Ohio to perform emergency work. AIS worked as subcontractors to Alan Stone. This photo shows our crew with some of the boulders scaled off the slope - you can see why traffic was impeded!   Here's a link to a local news report on this project:
