The first construction job on phase two of the widening of 71st Street to six lanes between the Arkansas River and the Mingo Valley Expressway closed the street for one day, giving an indication to motorists that the drive east of Woodland Hills on 71st Street will be a mess until the fall of 1989. The first phase, which widened the street between the Arkansas River and east of Lewis Avenue, was completed in 1985. Photograph taken November 12, 1988.
