    Looking Back: Nello Teer Grades Difficult Highway in Pennsylvania

    Thu August 15, 2019 - Northeast Edition #17
    Edgar A. Browning – Special to CEG


    Work on the $3.6 million Constitutional Boulevard project in Aliquippa, Pa. began in January 1955.

    The slide prone area was the infamous scene of a historic tragedy on Dec. 22, 1942, at 5:12 P.M. when an estimated 1,200 ton avalanche of rock slide down the hillside and crushed a bus killing 22 passengers. CEG
