Big Sandy River - Wikipedia says:
The Big Sandy River, called Sandy Creek as early as 1756, is a tributary of the Ohio River, approximately 29 miles (47 km) long, in western West Virginia and northeastern Kentucky in the United States. The river forms part of the boundary between the two states along its entire course. Via the Ohio River, it is part of the Mississippi River watershed.
I looked around online to see what I could find out about the bridge, assuming it was ever built. There are bridges in the Levisa Fork area, and there have been bridges demolished, but I couldn't identify one as being the bridge in question.
So the application that the Department of Public Roads submitted must have been to the appropriate federal government entity, and Will was in charge of checking up on it. Or was he more closely involved with the project?
