Roadside construction area with a newly poured concrete barrier running alongside fresh pavement. Broken chunks of concrete sit near the base of the barrier, and water or wet concrete stains the ground nearby. A pickup truck and workers are visible farther up the road, with trees and a gravel slope along the right side of the scene. Construction site along a roadside where workers are building a wooden form supported by stakes and braces inside a narrow trench. The formwork sits beside a concrete barrier, with tools and materials scattered nearby. Trees and vegetation line the slope behind the work area, and several workers and equipment are visible in the background.
