Description
The Works Progress Administration (WPA) built the Lakeview Road Bridge in Stillwater OK.
From waymarking.com: “The WPA constructed large amounts of roadway infrastructure during the last half of the 1930’s, including thousands of bridges and culverts. This bridge on West Lakeview Road, about 5 miles west of Stillwater, crosses Dry Creek.
The bridge has seen a lot of wear and tear and the concrete guardrails are broken in several places, with sections missing. The bridge on both sides of the road has imprints of the WPA shield with the year 1939, and one place on a guardrail pillar, there is evidence that it once had a bronze WPA shield attached. The side walls coming out of the tunnels are constructed of stone blocks.”
