Thanks to xydexx for pointing this out

Conquering Roads (1937 in Archive.org)

This is a 1937 film on road and highway construction. I'm enough of a roadgeek I'm having a field day watching it.

TRIVIA: In the part of the film on traffic circles, they show aerial views of the traffic circle at Kensico Dam Plaza (I recognized it, since I grew up there). Also shown is Hawthorne Circle, which was torn out in the 1970s and replaced with a big flyover thing.
