The reason Washington way is closed from 15th to 26th. Looks like they have cut a trench across the new pavement on Washington Way. And it appears to be connected to the new building at Goss, who @ucked that one up. New street with a new hole what a colossal waste of money.

The new construction doesn't begin until you are past the now-closed entrance to the parking lot closest to Goss.

The new construction doesn't begin until you are past the now-closed entrance to the parking lot closest to Goss. Where the trench is was paved less than one year ago. It’s very frustrating to have a new street getting cut into within the warranty period because the pavement section will never have the same sub base compaction as undisturbed section.

OK, I thought that was in the curved part of WW they redid several years ago.
I do know that having 15th, 30th and WW closed to through traffic is a monumental PITA for those trying to get north-south in Corvallis.

They better re-open either 15th or 30th by then. They have been working on 35th and Campus Way for a few days. All four corners have been excavated, now just waiting for new ADA ramps, curbs and sidewalks. Hopefully they can coordinate the full closure when 30th and 15th re open.

Well 15th is reopened for now, but 30th remains closed at Washington Way, which of course remains closed between 17th and 30th although it looks as if it should be open. This project remains FUBAR.
Thankfully I haven't even attempted to drive on 35th. But closing one of the two main north-south routes in the city for what seems like the fourth or fifth time in the last 10 years doesn't inconvenience anyone.

Washington Way was closed at 30th, but I was able to go through the intersection yesterday evening. No idea if it’s only open for the weekend maybe though.

I could have driven around the barriers because the road surface was intact but I don't want to mess with the OSU police. The project just needs to get done, period.

Oh for sure, and I forgot it might be closed when I turned down 30th. There were no barricades north/south though. It was open to traffic.

A modern (yr. 2025) supercomputer cabinet will be very dense, probably weighing between 8,000 to 10,000 pounds each. Not sure how many cabinets in total there will be, probably between 50 and 100? Then there is liquid cooling, which also adds a lot of weight. Yeah, the building to house a supercomputer like that is a big part of the cost, but it should function for many generations of supercomputers. It may draw as much power as the rest of campus as well once it is fully brought up. Trying to think what the other big users of electricity on campus might be...

Channeling Beavermobile, here (with all due respect). It should be christened, "The Big Huang." And anticipating a response from the judge, "That's what SHE said!"
