This is an artists impression of the Regent Centre Metro Interchange. It was taken from the ‘Ainsworth Spark Photo File.’ Compiled between the 8th of December 1975 to the 12th of May 1977 it consists of artist's impressions, tender drawings, photographs of 3 dimensional models and plans relating to various Metro projects. Ainsworth Spark were Newcastle based Architects.
The file is taken from the Mott, Hay and Anderson collection, consulting civil engineers responsible from the Tyneside Metro light rail system and the Tyne Pedestrian, cyclist and vehicular tunnels.

Timber ribs and bracing starting to go in on the Naples canopy and most of the central ring sank too.
The opening is to be filled with concrete precast segments with use of the blue gantry crane. The other side (North Side) of the bridge is completed. The deck that I was standing on is pretty much completed too, the middle was still empty! Installation of precast segments would take 3 weeks to 2 months each!

The City of Hoover has seen enormous growth in its sports programs over the past 10 years and needed a new complex that would fulfill their existing needs, allow for growth and give the City the ability to create new revenue streams and take advantage of sports tourism by hosting large tournament events. Hoover had not built any new athletic facilities in 15 years. At the same time the City’s sports participation had increased by multiples of 200% - 500% depending on the sport. The growth was caused by increases in both youth and adult sports leagues, as well as the relatively recent popularity of additional sports.
The multi-purpose Finley Center, which connects to the existing Hoover Met baseball stadium with a covered walkway, is able to accommodate a full-size football or soccer field, nine regulation-size basketball courts, 12 regulation-size volleyball courts or six indoor tennis courts. It can also seat 2,400 for banquets and 5,000 for events with general seating, such as a graduation ceremony or concert. Additional features of the indoor facility include a recreational walking track suspended 14 feet in the air, an athletic training and rehab center, and a food court.
The Finley Center sits on a 120 acre site that GMC master planned and includes fields for soccer, lacrosse, football, baseball and softball, tennis courts, a play ground walking track and splash pad.

This new bridge carries Route 112 over Kearney Brook in Worthington. The project was completed at the end of August, 2012. . It would have taken approximately two years to replace this bridge using staged, cast-in-place construction methods. To accelerate construction, MassDOT used precast bridge materials and replaced the bridge during a 60-day road closure, completing all work in a single construction season. This is the first fully-precast bridge in MassDOT's District One Region. It has precast abutments on spread footings and a NEXT-F Beam superstructure with cast-in-place concrete deck.

Cohasset, Massachusetts
Constructed 1855-1860
Minot's Ledge is a wave-swept rock formation in a rocky area of ocean about a mile off the Cohasset shore near Boston. Numerous serious shipwrecks prompted the government to erect a beacon there, and construction began in the summer of 1847.
The light, constructed on tall iron legs, was put into operation on January 1, 1850. Designers believed that the water would flow freely through the legs, leaving the lighthouse intact. But a terrible winter storm toppled it in 1851, killing the two assistant keepers.
The replacement lighthouse, built of granite blocks between 1855 and 1860, still stands. Considerable foundation preparation along the narrow ledge of rock secures the base of the lighthouse. Interlocking granite blocks provide stability against raging Atlantic storms.
Facts
The first task in building the new lighthouse was to remove the pilings from the first lighthouse and insert a new iron framework into the remaining piling holes. The new framework was intended to anchor the stone masonry to the rock ledge. The work was done over the period April 1 through September 15, 1855. In January 1856, a violent Atlantic storm blew the New Empire into the piling, completely destroying framework.
- Over a three-year period, a circular base, 30 feet in diameter, was excavated into Minots Ledge rock. New dowels nearly 25 feet high, or as high as the 12th course of granite masonry were anchored into the rock.
- Three things were necessary, a perfectly smooth sea, a dead calm, and low spring tides. This could only occur six times during any one lunation, three at full moon and three at the change, said Captain Barton Stone Alexander. During 1855, only 130 hours of work could be performed at sea; in 1856, 157 hours; in 1857, 130 hours; and in 1858, 208 hours.
- Samples of granite from many locations were submitted and tested, but granite from Quincy was deemed to be the best. Over 3500 tons of rough Quincy granite were delivered to Cohasset.
- Captain John Cook, a master seaman and rigger, devised the model for the derrick that was used to lift the massive granite blocks onto the lighthouse.
- Each stone was hand chiseled in an interlocking dovetailed pattern so that it fit perfectly with its neighboring stones and those above and below it. A total of 1079 stones were crafted, weighing a total of over 2350 tons. The blocks for each course were fitted together on shore to assure perfect fit before being transported to the Ledge.
- It was July 1857 before the laying of stone could commence, and another year before the underwater construction work was completed. Once the stonework was above the tidal range, construction proceeded more rapidly.
- The total cost was approximately $300,000.
- Captain Barton Stone Alexander, a United States Military Academy graduate with the United States Corps of Engineers, was chosen to develop and finalize the design and oversee construction.
- The lighthouse has withstood every gale since 1860. The strongest waves cause nothing by a strong vibration. On some occasions the seas have actually swept over the top of the structure with no more damage than that caused by a few leaky windows.

Work continues on the "Smart" section of the biggest car park in the NorthWest of England. The M6 Motorway between Junction 16, (Crewe), and Junction 17, (Sandbach), Cheshire.
We'll see how smart it is after the first major incident following the opening of the section.
Extract from online media - “When the smart motorway goes live, drivers will benefit from an extra lane in each direction and variable speed limits will be used to keep traffic moving.”
Keep traffic moving? That will make a change then.
