James Hutchison describes his long career as a surveying engineer for the Colorado Highway Department, much of it based out of Boulder. Hutchison worked on many projects that shaped the transportation landscape of Boulder County, such as the removal of the train tracks from Water Street and the construction of Canyon Boulevard; the building of the Diagonal from Boulder to Longmont and the highway from north Boulder to Lyons; the construction of one of the first pedestrian overpasses with a mesh cocoon surrounding it; and the refurbishing of the 17th Street Bridge in Boulder. He also tells of his involvement in other activities such as a search and rescue operation for a car buried in the debris of the 1976 North St. Vrain Creek flood, and testing nuclear detectors during the Cold War that would monitor the area for radiation in case of a nuclear attack.
