Watching Trucks

I love to watch trucks at work.  Big trucks. If you are curious about the work that big trucks are doing on the local interstate highway, check out the website of the I-15 Corridor Expansion (ICore).
If you would like to see some of their projects in action, you can find time-lapse video recordings on YouTube of such things as the moving of the Center Street bridge, which took place on April 14th (you have never seen road construction workers move so fast!).  [The comment to the post refers to the Lindon Bridge move.]
To get a bird's eye view of what is in store for the Center Street interchange by the time it is finished, check out the animated tour on YouTube. It ends with a view of the future roadway from a virtual driver's seat.  Amazing!

Road construction definitely has its drawbacks with dust, din, delays, and detours, so it is great to find something to enjoy about it!

    I guess I am not the only one who is fascinated by the road construction. The following comes from our City Neighborhood Program Coordinator. I couldn't add the video link to this comment so I have added it to the post:

    The following message may be a little lofty, but here goes. As I watched the video of the Lindon Bridge movement, I thought of the great team work on display. I thought how important it is that neighborhoods work as a team for the greater good of all. I thought of how much every job matters and how important every individual is. I thought about how so many great things can happen when everyone works together and trusts each other. I believe everyone has the best of intentions, but sometimes individuals lack knowledge for good decision making. As you watch the bridge being moved, many individuals work together in each phase to take care of issues, details, etc. I believe by working together as neighborhoods, as City Council Members and as Administrative Services, Provo can continue to be the best place to live in the US. It takes trust that others are doing all they can and trying and it takes diversity to come to good decisions for all. It takes integrity and it takes time.

    I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A VERY WONDERFUL WEEKEND AND WATCH THE VIDEO!
    Thanks, Louise
