Goble Macadam Work
A contract was awarded to Warren Construction Company September 4, 1917,
for macadamizing the Goble Cut-off on a basis of cost plus ten per cent.
Columbia County has a quarry on the old road about three-fourths of a
mile west of Goble, which was equipped with complete crushing outfit and
arrangements were made by the contractor for the use of this equipment
and all the rock for this job was crushed and hauled from this quarry.
Work was started March 1, 1918, and completed June 25, 1918.
Engineering work was done by H. C. Compton as resident engineer under
the supervision of Chas. H. Whitmore.

Goble Grading Section
A new location of the Columbia River Highway was made from a point two
miles east of Goble to Goble Creek and a new concrete bridge built over
Goble Creek, making a saving in distance of about one-half mile and
doing away with several excessive grades, sharp curves and narrow
roadbed, also a dangerous bridge and trestle across Goble Creek.
