Description: Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "A smooth, new four-lane highway - know as Turner Turnpike - is starting to taking shape between Oklahoma City and Tulsa. And pictured above is a stretch of the 88-mile tollroad five miles west of Chandler. Asphaltic concrete paving has been laid and shoulder grass planted. But the picture above doesn't tell the back-bearing work and struggle that it took to make the road possible."
