In the wake of the October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta |
|
Earthquake, Caltrans commissioned an oral history project |
|
to document the personal and professional experiences of |
|
Caltrans employees who worked to restore the State's |
|
damaged transportation system. At the time of this |
|
interview Bob Reyes was an Equipment Operator with |
|
Caltrans at the Gilroy Maintenance Station. When the Loma |
|
Prieta earthquake happened, he was driving in downtown |
|
San Jose he then made it to his home in Gilroy and was |
|
called back to work, where his crew was sent to repair |
|
the approaches to the Sergants over-crossing. In the days |
|
after the earthquake Reyes cleared slides and sealed |
|
cracks on Highways 17, 9, and 152 in Santa Cruz County. |
