Caption: "Here's how a big city-state highway project emerges from the blueprint stage, and begins to take shape as the new bypass route on U.S. 66. In the foreground is a culvert form, and beyond that the big tread marks left by the tires of heavy earth-moving equipment trace the general path of the new road from the southeast corner of NE 63 and Eastern over the hill in the extreme background, around a bend in Deep Fork creek, and on to connect with Lincoln at about NE 50. This is the first section of the by-pass route, and construction work is being done by W. E. Logan & Sons, Muskogee contractors, whose low bid of $508,806 won the job."
