Builders of the Broad Highway, Part 1 documents large-scale road construction and the workers who build it. Gasoline-powered air compressors drive drills for blasting, while crews excavate trenches and install sewer, drain, and water pipes. Welders join major conduits, including a mountain bypass carrying aqueduct water to a city reservoir, amid coordinated safety procedures.
