Description
The Work Projects Administration (WPA) project undertook grading and culvert construction efforts in Cimarron County along Oklahoma State Route 325, between Kenton and Boise City. As of 2018 more than 20 structures along this stretch of road bear a shield-shaped WPA imprint stamp.
What is known in an ODOT historic survey as bridge structure ‘1320 1938 X’ bears a 1939 WPA stamp on its superstructure. The culvert is located on Route 325, east of Kenton, a driving distance of 18.4 miles.
