Description
The Works Progress Administration (WPA) built an 18-mile portion of State Highway 12 connecting Andalusia with Brewton. The road was re-graded, widened to 30 feet, and received a 21-foot blacktop surface over a sandy clay base. This was a joint project of the WPA, Alabama State Highway Department, and Escambia County.
