Exhibit Shows State Highway Building Needs
A Minnesota State Fair display by the state highway department shows a $486 million road program to upgrade 11,900 miles of trunks and routes. It outlines costs for grading, base work, bridges, concrete paving, resurfacing, and right of way to meet modern traffic demand, with a visual “mountain” and “road to Moscow” representing the scope. A closing note contrasts a caterpillar’s 4000 muscles with a human 379.
