There's no way Las ordsprog

There's no way Las Vegas is going to be able to keep up with its growth with highways alone. There's not enough concrete in the West to pour all the miles of roads you'd need.

There is a U-shaped footing around the base of the shelter, so that when we pour wet concrete on the unit they anchor firmly in the ground. Then we continue to pour concrete -- up to 12,000 pounds of concrete.

We have lost about four weekends of work that we were going to pour concrete. And people are asking us why do we only pour concrete on the weekends. Well, we need to close couple lanes and we need three days for the concrete to cure.

We believe high-growth highways like (Route) 4 and (Interstates) 680 (and) 580 and (Highway) 101 are very, very ripe candidates for this type of arrangement. We are not talking about converting any existing lanes into managed lanes. It would all be new. Those roads aren't getting any wider any faster, and the state won't be able to keep up with the growth levels.

I've seen the most dramatic change you can imagine in the past three years. Fly 30 miles in any direction in the Rocky Mountain West, and you see oil and gas drilling rigs and wells and the network of roads that accompany them. It's out of control.

This is the reason we used asphalt instead of concrete for the road surface. It's easier and less costly to repair asphalt rather than concrete roads.

Take the back roads instead of the highways.

We won't quite trade (Los Angeles) for Las Vegas yet. Vegas is our hometown, but we love coming out to the West Coast.

To me, the growth issue and the roads issue are almost one and the same. They didn't plan for the growth here. The roads should have [been] built a long time ago. [If they keep building] you'll have a quagmire here, and it's really going to hurt the quality of life.

We're ready to pour concrete in five days on Phase Two.

They pour a whole lot of concrete here ... for boondoggles and white elephants.

It's not just highways and roads, ... It's not just increasing mass transit. It's not just air travel, but really all of that together.

The first big pour will be Feb. 27, when there will be 2,500 cubic yards of concrete poured at one time.
