The structure will be taken down because of its deteriorating condition.
“The concrete decks are deteriorating primarily due to corrosion of reinforcing steel embedded in the concrete and freeze-thaw action,” according to a structural engineering report prepared for the Beacon Journal. “The steel structure is deteriorating primarily at deck expansion joints and floor drains where water is penetrating the concrete slabs.”
Eslich Wrecking Co. of Louisville will tear down the deck and salvage any recyclable material. The work is scheduled to begin in October.
Employees of the Beacon Journal will park at other lots owned by the company near its offices at 44 E. Exchange St. Plans for the 10-level deck were drawn in 1958. It was built shortly thereafter.

Wow! Remember when it was damn near a truism that if you wanted a lifetime job, get one repairing the parking deck?
