Description
The Works Progress Administration (WPA) carried out pavement repair and other unspecified improvements to a segment of Rhode Island Avenue NW, from First Street to Third Street, in 1935-36. The work was part of the $949,496 WPA allotment for DC roadwork for fiscal year 1936.
This WPA roadwork is probably not discernible today due to subsequent road maintenance, repairs, or alterations.
