Water Trucks - an unloved element of road building

Like the company safety officer, water trucks are too often viewed as an unprofitable anchor on the bottom line. Sorry, Safety Guy or Safety Gal, but you've heard the whispers.

Oh, and as for safety officers, well, we think you're okay too.
US 301 in Delaware was constructed over a 3-year period using seven contracts, in addition to advance clearing, tolling, and landscaping. It extends from the Maryland /Delaware State Line to State Route 1, and was opened to traffic on January 10, 2019. It is a 14-mile limited access highway with four interchanges, 28 bridges, and an all electronic tolling (AET) system.
