An Osterman report shows 4 498 165 dollars invested in 1916 to improve the Lincoln Highway. States like New Jersey and Pennsylvania funded resurfacing, Ohio contracts totaled 926 000, Indiana spent 706 108, Iowa 904 955, Nebraska 376 000, Wyoming 60 650, Utah 275 000, Nevada 69 140, with California praising a strong cross country stretch. The article notes the highway’s rapid, near three year development and its claim as a fully marked Atlantic to Pacific route.
