To complete the grading of the Pacific Highway between Grants Pass and
Rogue River, the Highway Commission set aside funds for the construction
of the Locust Hill Section, a section one mile in length located about
three miles south of Grants Pass. The contract for this work was awarded
to Albert Anderson & Co. of Grants Pass, and the construction was
completed about June 1, 1918.
The necessary engineering supervision of this work was given by Mr. J.
E. Nelson, resident engineer of the Wolf Creek-Grave Creek Section.
