Description

This culvert that was constructed by the Federal Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s was part of the infrastructure of the old Highway 81. Today, the curbing on the culvert peeks out of a hedge that partially encloses Fuqua Park in Duncan, Oklahoma.The culvert curbing can be seen in two places which would have been on either side of the old highway. The original Federal Works Progress Administration shield stamp is too greatly eroded to read, and can be faintly seen in these photos.
