This Day in History: 1986-04-19

In the largest continuous concrete pouring ever done in the Eastern United states, the foundation of the International Crossroads building was laid. A total of 8,500 cubic yards of concrete was poured in one minute intervals starting at 4:30am. The cost was $1.8 million dollars. 850 trips were taken from Mahwah, Bogota and Riverdale. The day was chosen because it was the only day that Raia Industries could commit all of their concrete trucks for the day. (Bristow)
