If you build it, the cows will come.

HWY 101 is being expanded to allow for 2 lanes in either direction, and a median or ditch in between. There were some photos on this blog last summer of the bridges that were waiting for a road. This would be the road.

The new construction is located right next to a cow pasture, and the cows seem quite interested in the whole process. Just look at them. They're riveted on the scene. Wondering just how many loads of dirt will it take to fill the entire road-bed, and what kind of aggregate material will they use to ensure proper compaction? Inquiring cows want to know.

BTW-that dirt hill will be gone when this is all finished. The highway goes through there as well.
