    The Works Progress Administration (WPA) built a roadway extension from Nichols Avenue to Bolling Field in southeast Washington DC in 1942. Judging from the current roadway network, this extension appears to have been Portland Street, which is now Malcolm X Avenue. Nichols is now Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. This project was part of a major program of road building and repaying across DC undertaken during the New Deal.  Like all such road work, it is probably invisible today due to subsequent repavings; but the street itself is still there.
