  • State Route 917 - Ellsworth PA
    Pennsylvania State Route 917 in Washington County was developed from a dirt road as a WPA project. A WPA laborer who worked on the project told Washington, PA's Observer-reporter: "There was an old stone quarry on the old Jacobs Farm (near the road). The workers would dig up the stones at the quarry, break them with sledgehammers and then haul them to the road. Those stones became the base for Route 917."
