Re/code visits NASA's Silicon Valley research center, where a pair of startups are working together to democratize satellite data. Aquila Space is building a fleet of satellites while its partner Astro Digital is developing software tools that allow anyone to process and analyze the data. Among other things, the information could be used to help inform policy and responses for ecological disasters, including the droughts and wildfires plaguing California.

In August 2014 we completed replacement of the Barton Corner Bridge, which carries four lanes of I-95 plus two auxiliary lanes at a busy interchange with Route 2 on the Warwick/West Warwick line. Using accelerated bridge construction, we built two halves of the bridge on land adjacent to the overpass, and then moved them into place. This enabled us to build the bridge much faster compared with conventional construction methods, which would have taken twice the time. This approach also allowed us to do the work with no impact to Interstate traffic prior to installation.
