Description
In 1935-36, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) carried out pavement repair and other unspecified improvements to a long segment of Fourteenth Street NW, from Thomas Circle to U Street.
The work was part of the $949,496 WPA allotment for DC roadwork for fiscal year 1936.
The work is likely still extant but invisible, having been subsequently paved over.
