Original caption for photo group:

"WPA engineers estimate the Downman Road project, connecting Highway 90 and the N. O. Airport, will be ready for traffic within three weeks. These negatives show the intersection of the road and the highway and a section of the road midway to the airport, showing the rebuilt thoroughfare which formerly was a narrow winding asphalt road but highly important because of the military concentration on New Orleans' lafefront.
