Committee Committee on Highways The Connecticut Street Interchange, beginning point for one of America's great transcontinental highways, Interstate 90, is shown during construction recently. Four of the romps are complete to the point where state jurisdiction presently ends. They were finished to this point now in order to incorporate the ramps in permanent construction and to avoid interfering with traffic later. Westerly sections eventually will connect with Sign Route 509 (First Avenue South). A study is underway to determine traffic flows and an agreement will be effected between the City of Seattle and State Highway Department regarding further construction and financing. portation improvemen ^,U of our state. ly-mile section o ^. ^^07 project sine Ihe opening ot p.„p|e thon any 3 ^ ugislolore provide a new was .nreUopoH'on areas of L< Departmen of Hi9 ,v,o 1C30 inWashington.

When this multilane, divided highway is completed, it will be possible to drive with greater safety and pleasure from National City, on the Mexican border, to a point approximately 500 feet south of the International Peace Arch at Blaine, on the Canadian border. In recognition of this achievement which provides another bond of friendship between the United States and our Canadian and Mexican neighbors, we are proud to present as our special guests, Hon. Camp bell Moodie, Canadian Consul General, and Hon. Mr. John O'Brien Julieta Malonado, Mexican Consul.
