The original Corvallis-Newport Highway
Your recent article about Highway 99W ends with a reference to the Corvallis-Newport Highway that was eventually built. When we first moved to Oregon, we chose a Dr. Gunn as our dentist. He was no spring chicken. He told us that when he was a young man, in order to get from Corvallis to Newport, they had to go north to Portland out to Astoria, and down the coast to Newport.
A group of business men from each town decided to take things into their own hands. So with no engineering experience, no permits, no âby your leave,â they hired men who started from each end, cut trees and laid them down across swampy and other âiffyâspots, so some parts of the road were what was called macadam.
