Scope and content
This array of piles is the beginning of a trestle viaduct that will span Pacific Highway, connecting Fort Lewis with the new 41st Division Cantonment. The WPA construction project is estimated to be completed in three months. The purpose of the viaduct is to eliminate "traffic bottlenecks" on Pacific Highway where it borders Fort Lewis and Camp Murray. (T. Times 4/3/1941, pg. 7)
