Crews were out today in Clarence at the County Rd bridge over Beeman Creek performing what is called a deck pour. That massive machine you're seeing? That's a pumper truck, and it allows for precise placements and efficient pouring. Stay tuned!

Safety always comes first! Our crew recently completed bucket truck training to ensure they can operate this equipment properly and work at heights with confidence. Training like this helps keep our employees — and the public — safe while we get the job done. #DPWworks
