about

I was standing near the Cape Fear River (downtown Wilmington, NC) and heard construction equipment from a few streets away. The sounds were unusual for construction equipment. I noticed the sounds were bouncing around with a lot of vibrations. I walked up to the intersection of North Front Street and Grace Street (34.238840395593144, -77.9491239831353) and saw the entire intersection was closed for infrastructure and road paving. I caught the latter as the hot asphalt was being rolled.

From dump trucks to rollers to tampers and the occasional talking by the workers, I appreciated the seriousness of the project considering where it was.

I am appreciative of the City Engineer that shared some of the work progress. I spent about 2 hours in a 2 block radius capturing several perspectives.

My favorite sounds have to be the idle dump truck waiting to unload and a worker sweeping loose asphalt after the machines had advanced.

I believe cities like Wilmington should have sound libraries of their own to archive AND to share with their residents. Pictures are great, but sounds are better. It provides more context on what’s happening (in my opinion).

Hope you enjoy the tracks.
