Meet Mary Solon and Mary McCosker
authors of the new book:
“Building the Caldecott Tunnel”
They will take us from “Trails and Roads” to the “Fourth Bore”
in images and stories of the growth of travel from
East Contra Costa County to Alameda County
through the years!
“There was interest in building a tunnel between Alameda and Contra Costa Counties as early as 1860, but the idea was initially rejected by citizens of both counties … (fast forward) … The completed (fourth) bore was opened November 15, 2013”
Please join us in the Community Hall of the Lafayette Library & Learning Center on Sunday, November 9, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. for this interesting presentation by the authors.
