C.C. Myers, construction giant who gained fame rebuilding California freeways, dies at 85
Briefly

Myers, whose death was announced on the LinkedIn page of his Myers & Son Construction, started a construction firm in 1973 and gained fame for his can-do attitude tackling huge projects, most notably the repair of the Santa Monica Freeway that had been damaged in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake.
With each project, his fame for getting work done grew, with a 2014 Comstock's magazine profile declaring him 'the world's fastest man' and summing up his legend in a headline on the cover that read, 'Rome wasn't built in a day, because C.C. Myers didn't have that contract.'
