    That is a nice horizontal split case pump. I would love to get my hands on one of these, that is a fine piece of equipment. I don't have a split case, but it would be nice. Ashlie Sidney | www.dixiedrainfields.com

    This not in Bon Air. This is Powhite Parkway, while it was under constuction,looking south across the James River with Willow Oaks Country Club on the right. Forest Hill Ave is barely shown in the upper left crossing the construction of Powhite Parkway between Statford Hills & Westover. roundo4202

  • wolfdog2u said:

  • Mac Bridgewater said:
    I concur the only bridge in Richmond that had split deck and it would not have been complete in '72. Also note how white and clean the concrete is!!!
