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 Cliff Romano was a Senior Transportation | |
Engineer with Caltrans District Office 6 in Fresno. His | |
position with Caltrans was a unit that was on loan to the | |
California Highway Patrol for Accident Investigation. He | |
was asked by California Highway Patrol on October 25th if | |
he was willing to volunteer his services as part of | |
special investigation team that was established to | |
investigate and document the earthquake disaster. He | |
accepted the assignment, and reported to the Cypress | |
Structure. In the interview he describes what he saw and | |
documented for the special investigation team. Later he | |
investigated the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge for the | |
special investigation team. | |
