Throwback Thursday to this scenic civil project — Route 221 in Roanoke County, VA.
Completed in November 1993, this project took three years and a crew of 14 to accomplish. It also took 58,000 tons of aggregate, 15,000 feet of drainage pipe, 758 cubic yards of concrete box culverts... and the list goes on.
Since then, the road has served as a connecting route between Roanoke and Floyd, winding over beautiful Bent Mountain.
As always, Throwback Thursdays remind us of our history, and how earlier projects are the foundation of who we are today. Since 1963, our goal has remained the same. To build things that make lives easier and more enjoyable. ...

Interior buildout work is advancing on the Ground Floor and Level 1, while exterior framing continues and curtainwall installation prepares to begin.

When complete, the cancer center will expand access to advanced cancer care, leading specialists, innovative treatments, and critical support services for patients and families throughout our region.
