Demolition and Flooding

Buzzards Bay

by Ana Paulina

I arrived at the scene around 9:00 am this morning to find  that this was all that was left of the  Buzzards Bay Theater.

And set back in the distance, behind the theater, another lot was  being demolished.

 

 

Shortly after the rain storm passed, the Buzzards Bay area became a blanket of fog.

Due to vandalism, the Buzzards Bay Park, facilities have been closed for the season.

This Fundy Lobster, came gliding by as I happen to be in the area.

I found a great deal of flooded out sections  all along Main Street and side roads of Buzzards Bay.

And here is some land runoff into the Cape Cod Canal.

 

And while visiting a friend in Plymouth yesterday, I came across this beauty, behind a vacant Wal-Mart.

Beijo!

Hieroglyphs

Welcome to Cape Cod

by Ana Paulina

     Like a steady stream of traffic in low visibility, I decided to take advantage of the fog like weather conditions and hit the underground world of the innocents and continued to read their hieroglyphs.

Rain or Shine

Welcome to Cape Cod

by Ana Paulina

These two young men battle the stinging elements of heavy winds and rain as they try to attach this oversized lamp to one of the lighting posts on the Sagamore Bridge, around 11:00,  this morning.

The flow of traffic was steady throughout a good portion of the morning during strong winds and heavy rain.

Lunch, Trains and Traffic

Welcome to Cape Cod

by Ana Paulina

The lighting that skirts the Sagamore Bridge, has finally been restored. Also, as a friendly reminder, be  aware of the deep potted ruts that run alongside the curb of the bridge.

 

This sky rat decided to bring me lunch around noon , shortly after I watched this train depart the Buzzards Bay station just before lunch time yesterday.

 

The Sagamore Bridge,  project repair work continues.

Lane Shift

 The steady flow of traffic continues with some breaks.

 

The weight Limit is 16 tons per axle.

 

This gentleman was sweeping off what appears to be some steel beams.

 

 

This radar traffic sign was located on Main Street in Buzzards Bay, yesterday, near the Bourne Fire Station.

Remember to stay within the speed limit zones.

It's Lights Out!

Welcome to Cape Cod

by Ana Paulina

 

The Sagamore Bridge, was left in total darkness last night as work effort projects were moved over to the Scenic Highway, Route 6, where night crews continued with road repair work throughout the cold night, allowing for the senses to awaken to the fresh scent of asphalt first thing this morning.

Sagamore Bridge in the background.

 Trucks,  empty out left over contents into this pile.

This is Kenny Baptiste from Wareham,

And, Mark Barry from Plymouth.

Veterans Day

Welcome to Cape Cod

by Ana Paulina

The work on the Sagamore Bridge, was in full force first thing this morning.

 

The flow of traffic entering and exiting the Sagamore Bridge.

Exiting Cape Cod

There was no activity on the Scenic Highway, over by the Cape Cod Canal, except some parked portable vehicles.

I found this DYRECT 2, symbol by the RailRoad Tracks in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. And, over on the Bourne Bridge, a DYRECT 3.
