Tearing Up The Town



They are tearing up the town!  The occasion is the installation of a sewer line to service Sea Cliff Avenue, the "main street" of town.  Crazy that they are doing the construction in such bitter cold.  Whew!  The construction company is really efficient, though.  They are digging a trench perhaps ten feet deep, and 40 feet long, and then installing the pipe, and while they are extending the trench on one end, other machines are filling in the back of the trench.  It is astounding to watch.  It was such a shock to look down the street and see large piles of dirt completely covering the street.

Surely it's not fun to be working in such bitter cold conditions but for the citizens of Sea Cliff it will be nice to have the work finished in time for spring and summer!

I really felt for those guys, working in such bitter cold. The temperatures were in the teens when I shot these photographs.
