    ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.


  (a)  Effective July 28, 1998 (the "Effective Date of Dismissal"),  MYR
       Group Inc.  (the  "Company")  dismissed Deloitte  &  Touche,  LLP
       ("D&T") the prior certifying accountants.

       The consolidated financial  statements of MYR  Group Inc.  during
       the two most recent  years ended December 31,  1996 and 1997  did
       not contain an adverse opinion, or disclaimer of opinion, nor did
       D&T qualify  or modify  their opinion  as to  uncertainty,  audit
       scope or accounting principles. In addition, the report of D&T on
       the Company for the last two years was unqualified.

       The decision  to change  accountants was  ratified by  the  Audit
       Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

       In connection  with the  audits of  the  two most  recent  fiscal
       years, and of the Effective Date of Dismissal, there have been no
       disagreements between  the  Company and  D&T  on any  matters  of
       accounting   principles   or   practices,   financial   statement
       disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.

       D&T has  furnished the  Company with  a letter  addressed to  the
       Securities and  Exchange  Commission (the  "Commission")  stating
       that D&T agrees with the statements  made by the Company in  this
       Item 4 (a). A copy  of the letter from  D&T to the Commission  is
       filed as Exhibit 16 hereto.

  (b)  Effective July 28, 1998 (the "Effective Date of Engagement"), the
       Company engaged Ernst & Young LLP as its auditors.

       During the two most  recent fiscal years  prior to the  Effective
       Date of Engagement and  all subsequent interim periods  preceding
       the date hereof, neither the Company nor any of its  subsidiaries
       has consulted E&Y regarding any matters or events as set forth in
       Item 304 (a) (2) or Regulation S-K.


  ITEM 7. FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS,  PRO  FORMA  FINANCIAL INFORMATION  AND
          EXHIBITS.

  (c)  Exhibits. A  letter  from  D&T to  the  Commission  dated  August
       10,1998 has been field as Exhibit 16 to this Current Report.
