Clinton “C.C.” Myers, 85, respected in the transportation sector as the ultimate quick-fix bridge repairer, died Feb. 14 in Meadow Vista, Calif. according to his family.
Known for a blunt but fair nature, Myers began cultivating a reputation for fast repair work in 1989, when the Loma Prieta earthquake in California caused the collapse of a double-decker section of Highway 880 in Oakland. C.C. Myers Inc. crews happened to be working nearby, so the California Dept. of Transportation (Caltrans) enlisted them in emergency efforts to search for victims and stabilize structures.
