A construction management official says a review of structural connections at the Cincinnati casino shows no bolts are missing in the unaffected areas of the construction site. There is no determination yet on the beams where a collapse injured more than a dozen workers.

The president of casino construction manager Messer Construction Co. told state casino regulators Wednesday that the investigation into the collapse is continuing. He told them he cannot say what caused the collapse and that will come out when the investigation is completed.

He also says inspectors looked over beams in the parts of the site that were not affected by the collapse-those inspectors found no missing bolts. That step was taken to ensure the rest of the site was safe for workers, who returned today.

Work did resume this morning, five days after a floor collapsed as concrete was being poured. The injuries from Friday's accident were mostly minor. A hospital spokesman says the one worker still hospitalized remained in serious condition at Bethesda North Hospital.

The collapse occurred weeks after a similar Cleveland casino accident with the same developers, who say the cases aren't linked.
