Blocks on Rocks - Coquihalla Hwy Repair
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 гру 2021
- After high water took out road and bridges we've been confined to an area around our home on a stretch of the Coquihalla Highway. We decided to document the highway condition and repairs along with a bit of our own experience. In this video things are looking hopeful, the construction crews make progress on Jessica bridge, and Mark & Jer help stop water from running down the road. Also, we hear from Mike and Ute who are also confined to this section of Highway in their motorhome.
Never thought I'd be this happy to get roadwork updates. Some awesome coverage!
Better reporting then main stream....I really enjoy watching thank you
Thanks again for your dedication and hard work documenting all of this. God bless you and your family. 🙏🏼
Using your own gear to help the boys out and get this road open again! you deserve more exposure and credit, thanks for all the things u do!! stay safe brother
I consider my dozer to be a community asset, that's how it is when you live in isolated areas.
Itscalled being a scab
Look at bulldozer put rock on road then dig another rock feel your braincells depletion watchn this
@@michellecarew7778 wow
His equipment isn't at bridge though lol his equipment at his house so other then recording what equipment is he giving????
Best reporter in Canada! Cheers for your hard work. 👍👍
Glad to see the progress and was amazed at the sheer power by the sound of those boulders rolling around underwater.
because he's just showing what's really being done, and not the usual media fluff. news hours just push the government's agenda and censors the real events. and farnworth follows trudeau's footsteps with his non-answering of questions. i want just one of the reporters who get a question, to start by telling him all they want is a yes or no answer, not a side-stepping rambling that's just distraction to forget what was asked. even better, tell him no words at all, keep his lips sealed, and blink once for yes, twice for no.
@@zzz7zzz9 Why care about all the reporters flim-flam at all? What difference does it make how a politician answers a question from some corporate hack? You do understand they are pushing the agenda of the people who pay them, right? There is no such thing as a unbiased reporter, they have the bias of whoever signs their paycheque. If I were a politician I wouldn't tell them the time of day.
@@jamiefield9506 you side with a politician?
The ONLY reporter in Canaduh, the rest are presstitutes and blow-dry Ken's and Barbie's.
Thanks for the great coverage. Rocks, blocks on rocks, locks on blocks on rocks, docks on locks on blocks on rocks. I could go on with socks and crocks and flocks and jocks. Lol!
Love 💕 it!
So much respect for all of you and the incredible work you are doing. Thanks for the video updates. Always look forward to the latest
Shoutout to the "rolling rocks" sound !! Such a rare sound to capture - terrifying and fascinating to me as a sound engineer.
Thanks for this outstanding journalism and great helping out everyone you meet. Wow. Bravo!
I heard that once in Mosquito Creek (north Van.) when it flooded back in 1981. But that creek is much steeper than the one you showed us.
This is the only channel I watch for updates. You guys are great. Helping out these hard working people. 😀
Wonderful. We need our highways. Thanks for updates.
Thank you for doing a Great Job ! ❤️
You are supplying some of the best REAL content on UA-cam. You guys are true BC hero's, as are all our blue collared men and women. Much love and respect from Kamloops.
Awesome job on the updates. And to see you pitch in to help. Makes me believe in humanity. Stay safe to all of you.
Diesel isn’t cheap and that old workhorse Case 580 of yours is a bit of a guzzler I bet! Hoping you’ve saved your fuel receipts and will submit them to MOTH! Thank you for your efforts!!
Good for you guys, giving a helping hand! 👍🏼 Thank you. 🍻
Thanks for all the updates keep safe.
Spectacular ! Thank you guys and ladies for you work !
Great videos, THANKS!
Jer, our only real meaningful purpose in life is to help others.
The part where you and your Dad were using your own CASE backhoe to contribute in this recovery, is what it truly means to help others!
Not only documenting but helping. 👍🏻 Good job.
Once again you bring us updates like a professional. Plus I liked Mike and Utah that just brought more to your video🙏👍🙏
Imagine how surreal it is to literally walk on the legendary Coquihalla Highway! Looks like these folks are dead set on getting it fixed even if the repairs are temporary...nice to see these daily uploads SteBros!
If I had to guess, they will probably build a new more robust bridge beside the old one then demolish it in the future
@@bradjames6748 I think they are doing a pretty permanent job on this one. They may not pave it until spring/summer. Other bridges where the part of the deck is missing might be more temporary. A more permanent job, would be a redesign to lengthen the bridge so more water can flow through without taking out footings and approaches.
Those are not temporary repairs.
These are engineered, permanent repairs and upgrades to the highway.
Another excellent video. Thanks.
Thanks for all these updates, these are excellent!! Amazing to see all the work being done, thanks to all involved!
Love the channel guys keep it up ! Watching from Ottawa
Good job guys, they’re making headway for sure.
This is true humanity and the LOVE for it, in action! And the end, is yet another example of how badass you ALL are! Much Aloha, stay safe!
Before this happened I didn't even know WHO you were , now I do and will continue to watch your channel. Good job covering this because no one else is ! Cheers !
Great stuff for us armchair engineers, heavy equipment operators, labourers.
"Mike" is by far my favorite character in this entire play! :-) you all are doing a great job! God Bless!!
Mike is a veteran in the dump truck manufacturing industry. Awesome guy at work and at play.
Thanks so much for these great videos! I’m an environmental consultant and I typically work on civil construction sites. It’s interesting to see how things are done differently in an emergency compared to normal procedures. The Kiewit crews are working efficiently to do the temporary reinstatement of that bridge! Hope you are all well.
I’m impressed with the building videos.
Not sure why but watching you guys helping out and thinking ahead and making things easier for the other guys really touched my heart kinda welled up hard to figure out what makes a crusty old man feel those kinda feelings doesn’t happen often but it’s the brothers helping brothers I guess thank you for that
love the footage of the construction crews at work! Hope you can keep posting these type of videos until completion!
It's really cool to see the crew in action
Well done guys and many thanks for your work and the update on the road conditions up by Hope BC
The machines, the methods and the attention to detail in the road building is great to see! Thanks for your great videos. I hope to get to Hope soon!
I love watching your videos. Seeing the progress on the roads. Its great.
I can't help but notice the beautiful mountains behind you while your filming the highway reconstruction. I'm glad construction is in full swing. Best wishes from New York!
better coverage than news media is doing. great job.
I hope they will be showing their appreciation to your crew for all you are and have done, the updates are great and the news should be buying your stories to broadcast throughout the week.
Thanks for the coverage, and thanks for doing it regularly!!
I thought it was funny to see strolling with a baby up the entrance ramp to the Cog (btw, the wrong way too). Never in a million years will that happen if the Cog were open. Thank for your updates.
Thank you for the daily updates on this! Keep it up guys!
Thanks for posting all these videos - it’s amazing to see the damage, and the work being done to rebuild this vital link.
Thank you for everything you are guys doing! ❤️
Man. I respect every person on that highway. Much love from Dallas
Love your updates. I worked out here quite a bit on TMEP.
Awesome work helping to get the hiway open. Thanks for that and for keeping us informed on the progress.
Serious fast! In the USA something like this would take 9 months just in fish and wildlife agency before a shovel could be lifted. Bravo to your roads dept. and the determination to get things going.
When the game is hard, the harder starting to play. Good job guys
Thank you for keeping us informed. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the help your providing. And i enjoy following your videos. Stay strong from a dude in eastern Ontario.
Love what you are showing us, you're not boring for sure !
Tremendous effort by these construction operators in a tight construction zone...kudos to the team
These updates are so amazing..!!
thank you for all the up dates
Awesome video! We are hitting the road for Hope tomorrow first light to our home on wheels close to Yale now that the Hwy 1 is clear!!!!!👍 Hwy 7is usually the route we travel but it’s still under construction 🚧 the Sunday of the slides on that stretch of Hwy happened 1/2 hr after we drove past and it was a hairy drive then ! Glad to see so much progress in the making! Thanks Jeremiah and rest of the gang bringing us the current up dates! Stay safe please , see you all soon !👍
Hwy 1 clear??? From where to where? I doubt Vancouver to Kamloops.
Great vids, thanks for the updates please keep them coming!
I was wondering why nobody was trying to stop the water flowing over the end of the bridge. Good for you.👍
Great reporting , especially love the true Canadian accents! 👍
What accents? We don't have any accent
I live far away from you, but I like your updates. It is interesting to see how they fix the highway, though first the sides of the river with huge boulders. Great work helping out by clearing an area for future work crews.
I can’t help but think of the 4 that lost their life that night and their family’s. This job looks EPIC!!
Thanks for these pictures. I love it. reminds me of being 5 years old and mesmerized by big machinery. Now I want to see how they fix it all. Especially interested in how they fix Jackass Canyon and highway 8. Show us as much as you can.
Thanks for the post, I am surprised there isn’t more news coverage. Eastern Canada needs to understand what is going on, most have no idea if the depth of the devastation. There is an increase shortage of a lot of products that retailers normally have, there are so many empty shelves tight now which only going to get worse.
Greatly appreciate your friendly, informative videos. Learning a lot. Boulders rumbling under 10 feet of roaring water. Thanks
awesome work guys thanks for the update and stay safe
LIKE YOUR VID. PLEASE BE SAFE AND KEEP UP WITH MORE ON FIXING THE LESS THAN STANDARD BUILT HIGHWAYS! THANX
Another awesome update on progress in the Coq. Keep it coming!!
Thanks for the live updates
Thx for the daily updates!
Love your videos, Need to be longer. It's very interesting to see how they put things in place and the outcome. A lot has been learned. You need to set your camera up on a tripod from a distance and let it role so we can watch the progress. Thank you for you videos you are informing a lot of people. Stay warm.
A good opportunity for time lapse video photography - if they can find the time to do it.
I agree. I want more!! Longer please. Usually we don't want to watch long clips on UA-cam, however, I want more of this!!
Keep the content coming! This is great.
Thank you so much for all your hard work
I enjoy your updates.i hope you turn these into a Knowledge Network show.
This is FANTASTIC coverage. You are right there on the ground to show us what is happening. Huge kudos to you
Thanks for the updates I love it.
And if you listen carefully, you can hear...the rolling stones.
Great work people. Here's hoping you're getting supplies without too much hassle.
Excellent video!! Very informative. Thank you for all your efforts.
thank god there fixing this road as fast they can i work in east van and we are so low on supplies due to this one road you guys are great doing a good job thanks👍🍁
Man you can learning main stream media what professional journalism suppose to be, be healthy and keep going update 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 , hope so HWY 5 will be open soon.....
That's what I like to see lots of work happening!
Im glad you are documenting all of this, it’s history, and your coverage is excellent. I’ve heard big boulders rolling in a flooded stream, it really is an eerie sound. The power of water is amazing.
thanks for the updates fellas!
Love the videos & updates!! Keep up the great work.
When they built the highway, they were in a race against time to open it for Expo 86. Some shortcuts can end up costing billions of dollars decades later. The flaw is explained at 2:55.
I don't think they knew the difference. We now know and the change to using riff/raff rock instead of round is in play.
almost 40 years with no maintenance, I think is pretty good. I wonder if engineers would have built any different just a month ago.
@@user-vp1sc7tt4m I knew a guy who was a civil engineer on that project when it was built…they knew.
Engineered, fractured rock.......which is what rip rap is, was not nearly as common 35 years ago as it is today.
Now nearly every pit has various sizes of fractured rock.
I never use pit run which is what got washed away on the Coq.
That's pretty awesome great job guys!
this is amazing im from Ontario all the work you do is truley amazing hope you get lots of thank you'd for work well done often think of everyone all be safe cheers to to you all how is Jamie Davis doing please like your reports
Thanks for all your efforts!
Good stuff, sir.
Keep up the great work!!!!
Beautiful job guys. Keep up the good work and be careful.
Nice update, thanks and thanks for the work you did.
Great progress!
Gr8 video. I love how you explain everything. You make Awesome videos. Gr8 job everyone. You are ALL Absolute LEGENDARY LEGENDS
🙂👍💯
Wow! Excellent, encouraging, progress. Fun to watch HOW this is being done, how they intend to deal with high waters with big boulders. Makes me wonder if these aren't some of the best in the world when it comes to road building.
Make it LONGER. This is too much fun to see it come to an end. Give us maybe a short version and an extended version. Use all of your throwaway material in the long version. Saves me from watching this 3x just to get a full idea of how well this is happening.
damn, you and your camera man are good!
Certainly better raod building this time around. Expensive lesson learnt.
Watch them bring back the toll booth after all this 😯
Grate videos thanks for the updates
Simply amazing! Hope you can toast to a job well done soon - and in town!
War of a different generation. Good to see the progress. Hats off to the crew.
Great work guys can't wait till its open again getting tired of taking the long way around from highway 97 / 3...
