Did you ever look at a photo of yourself or a family member
from a long time ago and compare it to a recent picture? For today’s Photo
Friday, we decided to do just that for the Calaveras Dam and its replacement.
Calaveras Dam in 2011. The project groundbreaking was in
2011.
Calaveras Dam in April 2017. The project is more than 80%
complete. We have moved more than 8 million cubic yards of rock and soil to
date. We have fully excavated and grouted the left and right abutments. And in
the center of the picture, the core of the new Calaveras Dam begins to take
shape. The huge concrete spillway (as wide as a freeway) is visible at the lower right. Wow.
Construction on this project started in 2011 and is expected
to be complete in April 2019.

See you around the Valley!
