This chapter is finally complete. Its surreal. I spent the last 7 months in a whirlwind of getting family matters in order along with aiding in selling this house . . . . I had moments of not being sure I would see this day now its here. . . *pinches self* maybe it will sink in tomorrow.
The other week we finished Model Builder 101, our training course at work.
We've been working on real projects for the past couple weeks, and it's very satisfying. If you visit LLCA in the next month or so, you'll start seeing some of our work. (Hint: they'll be the ones that aren't all faded)
.After completion of the road over 11,000-foot Morgan Pass in 1939 and the tramway in 1941, the need for pack mules diminished. Heavy duty Lynn half-trucks began making regular trips over the arduous Morgan Creek Road. When the road was choked with snow, bulldozers were used to pull sleds laden with supplies. During big snowstorms, the mine was cut off from the outside world for weeks at a time.
The tungsten mine was situated at an elevation of 12,000 feet above sea level on the east face of Mt. Tom.
In the years leading up to and during World War II, tungsten once again gained strategic importance. By 1942, the mine had become the largest producer of tungsten in the country. The Pine Creek tungsten mine was a major contributor to the economy of the Eastern Sierra for nearly 54 years.

Hope Street. 14 August 2022. Weavers’ Cross is the proposed development of surplus Translink land after completion of the Belfast Transport Hub/Belfast Grand Central rail and bus station.
“A Proposal of an Application Notice has been submitted to Belfast City Council to support the regeneration and development of the lands surrounding the new Belfast Transport Hub.
This next step comes now construction works for the Transport Hub is well underway and the procurement for a development partner for the Weavers Cross Regeneration Project has also commenced.
Weavers Cross will regenerate 1.3+million square feet of developable [development?] space on a brownfield site as a dynamic new mixed-use destination in the heart of Belfast. As an exciting city development, it will offer a modern employment space delivering new job opportunities attracting long-term investment alongside residential and city living to support the aims of the Belfast Agenda.
Chris Conway, Group Chief Executive, Translink, said:
“Weavers Cross is transformational, a catalyst for regeneration through reconnection and supporting the City’s transition to a low carbon economy. Once fully occupied, it will have the potential to create up to 8,000 workspaces in Grade A office accommodation and mixed tenure residential for up to 1,000 people.
“An estimated 20-year development cycle, over the lifetime of the build, will continue to stimulate and support the local construction sector and its supply chain. Combined with the islands largest integrated transport hub at its heart, this scheme could also generate at least £1billion in economic output and spend in the economy” - official statement (undated).

Engraved text: "Australia - Postmaster General Department To mark the finish of laying a coaxial cable from Sydney to Melbourne by Post Office Lines Staff. This stone was unveiled on 10th November 1961 by the Honourable C. W. Davidson O.B.E. M.p., Postmaster General.
The two cities were first linked by telegraph in 1858 and by telephone in 1907.
Each pair of tubes of the 6-tube coaxial cable makes possible over 1000 simultaneous telephone or telegraph connections or transmission of two television programmes. The two-inch cable was buried at a depth of 4 feet at an average rate of 12 miles a day."
Construction is nearing completion for the County's Emergency Operations & Public Safety Building in Martinez, California.
---
Dreyfuss + Blackford has a specialty practice for Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) and our newest project of this type is for the County of Contra Costa. The County’s new EOC will replace an existing outdated facility. We worked closely with the design architect, Ross Drulis Cusenbery Architecture, to deliver the project to the County and meet their expectations through further refinement of the overall design and production of the final construction documents. We are the Architect of Record through full construction of the facility and it’s occupancy.
This essential service facility is the new Public Safety building which houses the office of the County Sheriff and Command Staff. A state-of-the-art Emergency Situation Room within the EOC is equipped with the highest level of communication technology. Additionally, the new building has a public training and lecture hall with amenities to support media briefings in times of emergency operations and community events.
Contra Costa County’s EOC is designed to operate independently for up to a week in the event of a natural disaster or crisis where city utilities are unable to function. Construction is being sequenced to serve an active occupied County site. In addition to the new facility, the former building is undergoing renovations to be utilized for future County services.
The project is designed to achieve LEED Gold certification.
Nearing completion, scheduled for opening Fall 2018, right on time...

(LAREDO) A ribbon cutting ceremony was held by TxDOT on Tuesday, January 21, 2020 to announce the completion of the United States (US) 59 Loop (LP 20) main lanes over Interstate Highway (IH) 35 & Union Pacific Railroad Line Overpass Project was constructed by SER Construction Partners, Incorporated of Houston, Texas for $25,800,849.36. The duration of this project was 25 months. Project construction started November 2017.
This project’s limits were from 0.33-mile west of IH 35 (connecting with the existing Interstate Highway (I)-69West main lanes) to 0.160-mile west of McPherson Road (connecting to the McPherson Road and International Boulevard interchange projects).
The US 59 Loop main lanes now consist of two travel lanes in each direction separated by a concrete barrier. Traffic impacts were minimal during the project’s construction given that all substantial work on this project took place between the existing US 59 Loop frontage roads approximately 300-ft. wide right-of-way.
The purpose of this project was to construct main lanes over IH 35 and the adjacent Union-Pacific Railroad line to upgrade this portion of the Future I-69W corridor to interstate standards as required by Congressional legislation concerning the I-69 system.
This project now fully integrates with the existing I-69W main lanes west of IH 35, as well as, the McPherson Road interchange that opened to traffic in 2014 and the International Boulevard interchange project completed in 2017. The upgrade of the Loop to interstate standards which includes this project was identified by TxDOT, City of Laredo, Webb County and the Webb County-City of Laredo Regional Mobility Authority (WC-CL RMA) as the priority project for this community.
Thru traffic now has uninterrupted service from International Boulevard to the entrance to the World Trade International Bridge. These inter-related projects are being constructed to interstate (I-69W) design standards.
Please note that with the completion of this project, five direct connectors remain to be built to complete for the ultimate Milo Interchange that will include a total of eight direct connectors. At present, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has funding for three of the five remaining direct connectors to be constructed, of which two direct connectors will let for construction bids in June of 2020, and the third connector scheduled to let in 2023. Thereafter, only two direct connectors will be pending for construction, contingent on the allocation of funds.
Funding for this project was approximately 80 percent in federal funds to include Coordinated Border Infrastructure Funds and approximately 20 percent in state funds for a total construction cost of $25,800,849.36.
Funding sources along with the final construction cost federal/state breakdown:
$18,737,640.47 = $18,532,835.59 (Federal Funds) + $204,804.88 (CBI – Coordinated Border Infrastructure)
$7,063,208.89 = $4,633,208.89 (Traditional State Highway Funds) + $ 2,430,000.00 (Proposition 1 State Funds)
