Abstract: A covered highway system is disclosed. The system includes a highway; an elongated cover, open at both ends, positioned over the length of the highway such that vehicles pass underneath the cover when the vehicles drive on the highway; the cover is impermeable to rain and to snow and the cover is capable of blocking the wind. Optional elements include ventilation, channels of communication, rest areas, and underpasses.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pair of pliers adapted to remove and replace a pigtail comprising a handle; a neck connected to the handle, the neck including a fulcrum; a set of C-clamp jaws connected to the neck opposite of the handle; the neck is bent at a bend point, the bend point located between the fulcrum and the jaws, thereby offsetting the C-clamp jaws from the neck at an offset angle. There is a foot at the end of each C-clamp jaw adapted to grasp the pigtail. When the pliers are closed the feet come in contact with each other and a gap is formed between the rest of the jaws.
