Tucson Juggles Traffic, Utilities and History to Flip Interchange Grade

A major interchange is undergoing a role reversal in Arizona's second-largest metropolitan area. Designed to solve traffic headaches and a dire safety problem, the Interstate-10, Prince to Ruthrauff roads project in Tucson is "flipping" the grade of Prince Road so that it will pass over, instead of under, I-10.
The revamp is part of a $76.4-million effort to widen I-10 along a two-mile stretch to eight lanes from six. Crews have to contend with six lanes of traffic at all times, a major railroad route and multiple utilities—all while keeping an eye out for potential archaeological finds.
Utilitarian
Since last fall, nearly all of the project's first 180 days have been devoted to relocating 15 separate utility lines that criss-cross the construction zone. Utilities include high-pressure petroleum and gas lines, sewer and water lines, electric power and telecommunications. "It was basically an underground utility interchange," says Jody Rodriguez, utility coordinator with the Tucson office of URS, a design subconsultant.
Crews relocated 72-in.-dia and 78-in.-dia sewer lines with flows of around 22 million gallons per day. The contractor advanced four jack-and-bore operations, including a 450-ft-long, 60-in.-dia casing under I-10 to reroute sewer flow.
As is typical, crews found utility lines that didn't match the positions indicated on the as-builts. Surprisingly, some of the existing joint trenches were encased in concrete and had to be carefully demolished—in one case, while avoiding damage to a major electrical line, says Edie Griffith-Mettey, senior project manager in the Tucson office of prime consultant AECOM.
Nevertheless, "we've been able to accomplish most all the relocations at this point without a delay to the overall project," says Todd Emery, district engineer with the Arizona Dept. of Transportation.
Besides allowing for better access and maintenance, designers had to figure out a way to protect the utilities from the weight of huge embankments and retaining walls required to elevate Prince Road. Thus, they corralled the utilities into a single utility corridor spanned by a 135-ft-long bridge. "Initially, we were going to put in a protection slab. But when we started doing the cost analysis, it was just as expensive to build a bridge," Rodriguez says.
Flipping Out
A 223-ft-long bridge is being constructed to carry Prince Road over I-10, and a third bridge will take the road over a Union Pacific Railroad track. The existing configuration crosses the railroad at grade, which has led to significant traffic snarls and accidents, Emery says. Forty to 60 trains use the line a day, but this could double due to a planned Union Pacific expansion.
Phoenix-based Pulice Construction is building cast-in-place concrete bridges, removing earth embankments currently elevating I-10 over Prince Road and constructing temporary detours to divert all traffic in phase one to one side of I-10, says Aaron Insco, Pulice project manager. To maintain three lanes of traffic in each direction at all times, all westbound traffic will be diverted to an existing two-lane frontage road that will be reconfigured into three lanes. Eastbound I-10 will detour onto the westbound I-10 lanes. After crews build half the bridges and reconstruct the freeway and eastbound frontage road, all traffic will shift to the east side as crews construct the other half of the project. Prince Road will be shut down for the duration of the project.
Most of the excavation from the I-10 embankments will be re-used to elevate the frontage roads that will tie into the top of Prince Road, but some 180,000 cu yd will be hauled away. Soft soil conditions have required nearly 400 drilled shafts as deep as 70 ft and 5 ft in diameter to support bridges and 30-ft-high retaining walls. Approximately 75,000 cu yd of concrete will be used on the project, excluding precast concrete being used for the bridge girders.
Past Presents
As crews slice away the embankments that used to elevate I-10, they will confront undisturbed earth that could contain archaeological artifacts—in fact, some artifacts already have been found during utility construction, Emery says. Construction activities will occur in two steps, pausing once crews reach virgin earth so that the archaeological team can survey and catalog the area. Meanwhile, Pulice will continue work in a pre-cleared area.
The project team also is looking out for the living. Because the area sees a lot of pedestrian activity that will be disrupted for the two-year-plus construction cycle, ADOT has set up a shuttle service to bring employees of nearby businesses to and from work on each side of the freeway. "This is the first time we've done that," Emery says. "There are a lot of firsts for us on this project."
Depending on how smoothly this project proceeds, ADOT is looking at performing a similar grade flip at the Ruthrauff Road interchange to the north. That project could go out to bid sometime after summer 2014. A year after that, Emery says they hope to reconfigure the Ina Road and I-10 interchange. “This is our test run,” he says. ”By the time we get to Ina, we should be really good at it.”

Sometimes a guy can get lucky. 5USD purchase of near perfect Yashica T3 compact camera with the famed Carl Zeiss T* lens. Works perfectly.
The Claas ELIOS is the compact model in the spread of the Claas Tractors, the ELIOS has a 3.2 litre 4-cylinder engine with power outputs between 53 and 65 kW.
The wheelbase is 2,098 mm. The height of the ELIOS is approximately 2.1 metres. This tractor weighs approximately 3,200 kg.
This Claas ELIOS has been modelled in Lego bricks for Flickr LUGNuts 37th Build Challenge - 'The Food We Eat' celebrating vehicles used in the production or distribution of food, or just with funny food derived names.
I have chosen to model the Claas ELIOS in LDD, after driving past the Claas distribution centre in Laverton (Melbourne), Victoria, and admiring their lovely lime green colour. Further research has highlighted the supreme capability the Claas Tractor range is capable of.

Maginon CF35, cheap compact camera for 35 mm film. I have really no clue regarding the manufacturer, there is no country of production or serial number mentioned on the body. It is mainly made of plastic, but the castings are very clean, so my suspect is Premier from Taiwan.
The camera has a folding front door like the Minox 35 and the lens is really retractible. It is a 4/38 mm fixfocus lens, probably with 3 elements.
It has no exposure meter but the common symbols (cloudy, sunny and something in between). Together with the setting of the film speed (100, 200 and 400 ISO) you will get 6 f-stops in combination.
When the flash is switched on, you have to set the flash distance with the f-stop ring. So, I think the light sensor above the ring is just for underexposure warning.
Furthermore: film advance with a wheel, frame counter, tripod socket, no self-timer, 2x AA-cells for the flash.
Looks very similar to the Yashica Partner.
1962 "Compact" canister vacuum cleaner by Interstate Engineering Corporation of Anaheim, CA at the Alameda Point Flea Market. Came with a bunch of attachments and bags, seems to work.
actually, the first mass produced 35mm AF compact camera. though I had a SLR, I bought this with some money I recieved for HS graduation
(yes im old) it is still in good condition, though the battery cover is broken, so I replaced it with a fully functional copy I bought on Ebay for $5.

Think about taking the product "out of the box". This compact was removed from the box, then nestled on top of the box before foofing. This way the beautiful compact cover shows through, rather than a plain box. A little pink tulle and you're ready to go!
The third generation was introduced September 1964, one month before the 1964 Summer Olympics. It was available in sedan, two-door hardtop, three-door van, five-door station wagon (also as a van), two pickup variants and a five-door hatchback. Italian designer Battista Farina assisted in the styling of the new Corona. The 40–43 series were reserved for sedans, while commercial vehicles (and wagons) were in the 46 and 47 series. Hardtops received 50–55 series model codes, while 56 was reserved for the five-door hatchback.
A public demonstration of the new Corona's performance was done on the Meishin Expressway, where the new model was tested to 100,000 kilometres (62,137.1 mi), and was able to sustain speeds of 140 km/h (87 mph). The Corona was released one year after the debut of the Corona's traditional competitor, the Nissan Bluebird. Toyota introduced a smaller vehicle to address the market that needed a more fuel efficient vehicle, called the Toyota Corolla in March 1968. This allowed the Corona to increase in size and offer more passenger and cargo room over previous generations. 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) time was 15.1 seconds.
Originally, commercial models (three-door van, pickup, and double-cab pickup) utilized the 1,198 cc 2P engine, with 55 PS (40 kW) at 5,000 rpm. This allowed for a maximum load of 500 kg (1,100 lb) for the two-seater versions and 300 kg (660 lb) for the five-seaters. Heavier loads were better accommodated by the Toyota Stout, while larger commercial grade trucks became available at Toyota Diesel Store locations. 1967 also saw the debut of a cab over van equipped for both commercial and commuting duties using the Corona engines, called the Toyota HiAce, offering more payload than the Corona was suited for.
The pickup was produced by the former Central Motors between October 1964 and August 1968.
Top speed for the 1.2-litre Corona is 110 km/h (68 mph). In January 1967 this also became available as a five-door van. In May 1967, the larger and more powerful 3P (1.35-litre) and 2R (1.5-litre) engines became available, replacing the lesser 2P in most markets. Power of these were 77 and 65 PS (57 and 48 kW) respectively.
The Toyota automatic transmission, dubbed Toyoglide, was introduced on this version of the Corona. The 4R (12R in Australian versions) engine that had a displacement of 1587 cc was equipped with a twin SU carburetor (Australian models with 12R engine had one double barrel Aisin downdraft carburetor), and was capable of 90 bhp (67 kW; 91 PS). Disc brakes were also introduced for the front wheels. Exports of this Corona proved popular in the USA and Europe, with increased engine performance and durability improvements over previous versions. In September 1967 alone, Toyota produced 80,000 cars, with 30,000 being Coronas.
In 1967 in Japan, the 1,587 cc DOHC 9R engine was available in the RT55 1600GT 2-door coupe. This engine was essentially the 4R engine with a new twincam head based on the same technology as the twincam engine in the 2000GT.
