STREET ROADWORK ON WESTFIELD ST.

I was so impressed by the roadwork crews as they resurfaced our street in front of our home. It needed to be redone and the fun part was to see how they stripped the pavement off with this big machine, dumping it directly into the truck in minutes. When they stripped the pavement off you could see the old brick streets underneath. Our neighbor up the street remembered when he first lived there 49 years ago and drove those brick streets. They are in almost perfect condition. I drive down many brick streets in Pittsburgh and many of them are in expensive neighborhoods, preserved. Anyway they did it all in about 4 hours and tomorrow they will resurface, neat!!

That is so cool that you guys have a brick road under the asphalt outside your house. It would be awesome if they could repair that and use it instead of laying new asphalt. Great pictures.
