  • Quite fitting that a giant RV with a trailer (presumably traveling a steady 25mph up the coast) is the first one across

  • They should restrict the size of motor homes, trailers on Hwy1 Not looking forward to all the traffic.

  • Fantastic and what a team to get this monumental project completed under time too. The photos have been phenomenal

  • It looks like it will be slow going with that lead vehicle :) Congratulations to all involved!

  • One thing about pride and expediency; details don't matter. Like putting blinders on a horse to keep it calm. Clearly, political expediency ruled--that is, the engineers were not at the microphones . . . and even if they were, they would be barred from revealing certain details. As long as "the fall" comes after the power has moved on to "greater" things, who cares? How is it that the most competent are ruled by political expediency?

  • Future generations will marvel at where we thought a road could be built.

    And, I, for one, am grateful this repair is done.
