While the grading crew is waiting for the curb company to get the curb in the move to another section of road heres the 980 loading the Bell out with the extra dirt from the road cut

The 950 and 650 working the grade underneath th bridge very tight fit

The curbs are almost all done and we can finally start doing the base work

While they were paving the road the graders were finishing up the other section to get paved next and basing it

The last few pics I got of them paving they were finishing up that section of road and going onto the section underneath the bridge


And that does it for now until they start doing the shopping center next door they have already starting cutting back the hill, I will get those pics up soon.
On another note I finally got a new camera hopefully u guys can tell and Jason I liked that pic alot hahaha just had to put in there same with the very last one hahaha

Looks like you need to bring in Mammoet with a boat load of SPMT's to move that big structure (or the TESTA Demo Crew) at the end of the road...Looks like it is getting in the way of progress...
