New Smart Vest promises increased safety for construction workers. Designed to help prevent cars from crashing into work zones, the Smart Vest is the brainchild of researchers at Virginia Tech University. The Smart Vest is equipped with sensors that send a signal to the entertainment systems of approaching cars, warning drivers of an oncoming construction zone. The vest can also be programmed to warn the worker of approaching traffic. Accidents in roadside construction zones has been a real problem in United States; between 2003 and 2010, 962 workers were killed at roadside construction sites.

Another audacious construction project is happening at Apple’s Cupertino, California  “Spaceship” campus. Set to be completed in 2016, this incredible construction project will cover 176 acres and house 13,000 employees. The campus will include an auditorium capable of holding 1,000 people and a $75 million fitness center. Surrounding the building, Apple has planted 7,000 trees and tried to foster a park-like feel with jogging and walking paths. When complete, the total cost of the project is estimated to be $5 billion. Click here to see drone footage of Apple's new campus.

The public gets its first look in two years at the $10 billion Long Island Railroad project. Set to be complete in 2022, this project is the first update the to the Long Island Railroad in 100 years. America’s largest transportation project, the LIRR will run directly into New York City's Grand Central Terminal and, once complete, is expected to transport 160,000 people a day. The East Side Access Station will serve 24 trains an hour during peak times, and is estimated to shave 30 to 40 minutes off of the average midtown worker’s commute. Those 160,000 people will be deposited at a gigantic, multi-level 350,000-square-foot concourse. To see photos of this striking construction project, click here.
