Welcome 2013

As we turn the page on 2012, we are unfortunately also saying good-bye to a key member of our Sunol Regional Communications Team. Francis Zamora, who has worked with the New Irvington Tunnel Project for over three years, is leaving the New Irvington Tunnel Team to take another position.

Francis (at left below) has been instrumental in the creation and implementation of the Groundwater Management Program process during construction. He also has helped create our Sunol Valley Blog, posting interesting stories, photos, and videos. Only Francis could incorporate references to Star Wars in a blog about tunneling! He also has created memorable public events, presentations, and informational materials in support of the New Irvington Tunnel Project.

Maria Le, who has been working with the Calaveras Dam Replacement Project Team and frequently coordinated with Francis, will be taking over his duties on the New Irvington Tunnel Project in addition to her great work with the Calaveras Team.

Some things will not be changing, however.
