Trucklover's 2009 Resolution Challenge ~~ P1

[Trucklover]

Okay so, here is the roads now. I have decided that road striping will NOT be necessary. This is because the road is closed due to the bridge expansion.

The road repairs were filled in. I left them a little rough, i wanted to show just a rough and quick patch, but after painting, you cant even tell the areas were rough lol

Here is a pic of what the roads looked like before the patching, as i said in my last post, i cut up quite a bit of the old road as i found out that more was damaged then i had thought



Here ae 2 pics after the areas were filled with new and improved "white asphalt"






After letting the patches dry completely over night, i painted them and added some details to the scene simulating a small stock yard of materials that would be used to build a new bridge. Some pipes for drainage, some sheet re-bar for the forms, sacks of concrete or mortar with a few pallets of bricks, a few tarped pallets, a stock pile of cones and barriers, and some other various small details. These were all stacked and set on the side of the road.

I also blocked off the road at the entrance for the CAT rental building and equipment yard so no traffic can come through to the bridge constructions site. Only truck traffic for the Great West Pre-Stress is allowed to come through the closed road..... Ive also put up some of the guard rails. There was a section that got broken in half, so i just used some cones and kinda made it looks like as if it needs to be repaired after an accident lol

Here are a few pics of the new patches, construction details and the new guard rails






















































Next up on the things to do is

• 1. finish the guard rails on the left and right side of the module
  2. add dirt/weeds along the bottom of the guard rails
  3. repair the CAT Rental Equipment Yard
  4. start the bridge expansion for the new bridge
  5. paint front edge of module brown
