They taught us how to build roads.

By the time the Lincoln Highway Association was formed, there were virtually no paved roads outside of city limits and when it rained the water sat on the road turning to mud.  All roads went over or around hills.  We had no idea how to build roads for automobiles.

Within ten years, things were changing as shown in this photo taken in Richland County.  We were cutting the tops off of hills and moving the fill to the valley below in an effort to level the path.  We were paving with concrete, macadam or in this case brick.  There were ditches on the side for drainage and lanes were marked with divider lines.  Photo by Lincoln Highway Collection, Transportation History Collection, Special Collections Library, University of Michigan.
