Purpose	The following historic context presents historical background on the impact of the New Deal programs on Oklahoma’s transportation network during the period 1933 to 1945. Historical themes considered include New Deal programs, from both the national and state perspectives; road construction and design during the period; and bridge construction, design, and aesthetics.; The context begins with an account of Oklahoma roads and bridges prior to 1933. This is followed by an overview of the Great Depression and its impacts on Oklahoma. The specific New Deal work relief programs are discussed next, from both a national and state perspective, with an emphasis on transportation projects and the social and economic implications that guided them. The last section details the engineering and aesthetics of Depression-era road-related resources and bridges with subtopics that include: types and features, design standards, and construction methods.; This historic context is the first component of the statewide inventory of Depression-era bridges and road-related resources in Oklahoma. Bridges and road-related resources included in this study are those constructed between 1933 and 1945 that have a direct association with at least one of the following major Depression-era work relief programs: the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA), Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), Public Works Administration (PWA), and Works Progress/Project Administration (WPA).
