Longmire Road Widening, City of Conroe – Part of the design team for the final phase of widening Longmire Road from FM 3083 to League Line Road. Began managing the design team between the 30% and 60% submittals to address some difficult situations encountered during the design. The length of the project was approximately 3.6 miles. The existing 2-lane open ditch roadway is presently constructed of asphalt pavement with existing shallow roadside ditches. The project involves removal of the existing pavement section, widening the roadway to 4-lanes and replacing it with 8-inch thick continuously reinforced concrete curb and gutter pavement. Project improvements include storm sewer, upgrading existing waterlines to 24-inch, adjustments to existing sanitary sewers, addition of an 8-foot wide hike and bike trail, signal warrant studies, placement of conduits for future signalized intersections, intersection …show more content…
The existing 2-lane asphalt road was widened to a 3-lane road with the possibility of revising the striping to be a 4-lane road in the future. The design included one traffic signal, striping, roadside ditches, storm sewer, traffic control and storm water pollution prevent plans. The existing roadside ditches were widened to handle Montgomery County storm sewer requirements. (Design completed 12/2017)(Estimated Construction Cost: $6.5 M)

Xavier and Elijah in Three Day Road (TDR) are faced with physical, emotional, cultural, and spiritual displacement, but due to their different backgrounds and personalities, every obstacle has a very different effect on their journey, which ultimately favors Xavier, but disfavors Elijah.
Politics create a perception that illegal immigrants are all horrid human beings and deserve to be deported back to Mexico. There are a number of Mexicans who look to cross the border to the United States because they are in trouble and they must do whatever they can in order to survive. Regardless of this, citizens of the United States immediately ask for the heads of illegal immigrants and jump to conclusions that these people are crude and selfish although they are just trying to support their families. Luis Alberto Urrea tackles this problem regarding Mexicans attempting to cross the border in his book, The Devil 's Highway: A True Story. Urrea retells the story of the Yuma 14, also known as the Welton 26, and their attempt to cross the
The western style 2013 Australian feature film Mystery Road centres around indigenous detective Jay Swan as he investigates the murder of indigenous teenager Julie Mason. Swan’s continued struggles to convince the rest of the local police – who all happen to be white males – to help him to solve the case lead him to find a drug ring. Sen represents the idea that indigenous people do not receive justice through the construction of Jay Swan and the unjust way the rest of the Indigenous community are treated by the white community and predominately white police force, encouraging my empathetic response. Sen also explores the police as corrupt and apathetic. In recent years, all over the world, but particularly in Australia in the 1980’s onwards,
Develops long term plans to determine need for and feasibility of constructing or upgrading athletic facilities.
On December 30th, 2016 Deputy Akins was responding to a disturbance at 10700 Centennial Road. While on the way to the disturbance, Deputy Akins received notice from Pulaski County Sheriff's Dispatcher that the suspect was leaving in a red Chevrolet truck. Deputy Akins saw a truck.

Traffic control was provided to ensure that inconvenience to the citizens was minimized. By 7 a.m., the crews were off and running. Chuy took the first crew to saw cut, mill and perform other prep work before handling the patching and bridging. In addition to the patching and bridging already discussed, Chuy also handled work on roads that his extensive experience told him were in need of attention. Blondie and Kathy took the second crew and began paving in areas that did not require preliminary prep work. By dark, the first road — which had been allotted up to two days for completion — was
The project is called “Paths To Progress.” Paths to progress is an improvement program for transportation, in efforts to restore and further improve the quality of of more than 60 road way segments in New Orleans and Jefferson Parishes. The project is a collaborative result between a few organizations. including: The Federal Highway administration, New Orleans Regional Planning Commission, Louisiana Department of Transportation, and the City of New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina and Rita damaged many roadways that were already in the process of being repaired. The roadways are major routes that will benefit residents, business owners and tourists as well. The improvements will include pavement resurfacing, patching, repairing curbs and building ADA- compliant accessible ramps. The organization really wants to emphasize that this project will make transportation easier, and minimize inconvenience (Paving LA Roads 2014). Paths to Progress has a website that shows their progress, news, updates and how the community can get
The SPHE meeting had a guest speaker Jacob Elias, a structures field engineer who works for Balfour Beatty Construction. He’s working on the Dallas Horse Shoe Project and graduated from UTA with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering in 2013. He talked about his line of work, his duties, responsibilities, and the main steps in constructing the Downtown Dallas remake of IH-35E and IH-30. He also discussed what he learned from his experience as a student as well as a professional in the field. He ended with some major advice for students and future engineers.
Project #12: It is proposed to repair the asphalt on parking lot number 2 at Hampton University. Measure the Area of the lot to the nearest possible [foot] and present it graphically. Knowing that cost of asphalting is $7500 for the first one acre and $210 per each additional square yard, determine the total cost of the project. This report will discuss the methods used to measure the area of the lot and how the measurements were used to determine the cost of asphalting.
In the past few years, Colorado Springs has seen a substantial population increase (St. Louis-Sanchez 2014). This has led to an increase of a variety of issues. Due to the increase, one of the biggest issues is that the roads cannot handle the new volume of traffic, and the drivers that are new to the region cannot always handle the roads, particularly in the winter. While the city continues to attempt to widen the roads, this only causes more congestion and stress no matter how temporary. On top of the added hassle of construction, roads can only be expanded so much before there is not any more room. Larger roads also means a larger winter maintenance operation, more money spent filling potholes, and repaving more roads. There are three different solutions to this problem, and they all can work together and build on one another.
The Central Artery Tunnel Project, more commonly known as the Big Dig, is said to be the largest, most complex and technologically challenging highway project in American history. It is the culmination of decades of planning and forethought and is hoped to alleviate the traffic congestion that has plagued the Boston area since the invention of the automobile. The project incorporates a major underground highway system, a revolutionary cable-stayed bridge, and a series of impressive tunnel crossings, each a considerable feat on their own, all constructed in the midst of a bustling city.
