The Coos Bay Bridge (also known as the Conde B. McCullough Memorial Bridge) in North Bend, Oregon, was built between 1934 and 1936. It was funded by the Public Works Administration, which was created under the National Industrial Recovery Act as part of the New Deal. All over America, there are many such bridges, dams, hospitals, and schools. (Photo courtesy of dalylab on Flickr.)
