In 1965, Interstate I-80 was completed and the popularity of this historical road waned tremendously. In 1980, this section was renumbered 925 and is now part of I-80 that has been declared US-6 in order to save federal transportation costs.
In 2003, State Highway 925 was given to the area counties who renamed it the White Pole Road. The route has gone full circle over the last 100 years. Poles along this 26 mile stretch have been painted white and once again it is up to the people to maintain the road and grow their communities.
The White Pole Road Development Corporation formed in 2002 in order to create a tourism industry to bring visitors and related revenues to each of the five communities. The name White Pole Road was selected as a tribute to the original road that connected Adair, Casey, Menlo, Stuart and Dexter.
Definitely Going to Check This Road Out. --RoadWhite
