Highway 66 widening under way at Amarillo project
Work started this morning on a 75000 dollar drainage and improvement project along Highway 66 from the Oldham County line to Sixth Avenue in Amarillo. W. J. Van London, district highway engineer, says the job will last three to five months with WPA funding. Alson Meredith, WPA district director, notes 150 men will be employed at peak. Also nearing completion is the Will Rogers route through the Panhandle, expected by mid May, with a national celebration planned by the Will Rogers Highway 66 Association when pavement finishes. The entire Chicago to Santa Monica route is paved except the Texas Panhandle portion under construction. A note on the young whooping crane says the windpipe lengthens as the bird matures.
