Re: REF: Caldecott Tunnel

[Barb Engvall <macbarb@CHARTER.NET>]

Using Google as the search engine and entering "who is the Caldecott
tunnel named for", the second hit I got contained this statement:

In 1929, Alameda and Contra Costa counties formed a joint highway
district to build a new two-bore tunnel, which was completed in 1937
and named for Alameda County Supervisor Thomas Caldecott, president of
the district.
