The inward curv- ing design helps keep objects and peo- ple from falling onto the roadway be- low — a constant worry for highway engineers. • The first of a two-part series noted that if you perform work for the federal government, you deserve to be paid in a timely manner.

We presented a look at how concrete fencing is manufactured and installed. • WFN contributing editor Herb Borner gave some quick and easy methods of checking your math in the field.
