  • Abstract:
    In 2006, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and its partners celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. However, 2006 also marked significant anniversaries of several other special events in highway history, including the 200th birthday of the National Road, the 90th anniversary of the Federal-Aid Road Act, and the 80th anniversary of historic Route 66. Over the past 3 years, a number of Public Roads articles have chronicled the story of the Interstate System, but these other historic stories deserve to be told as well. This year of anniversaries is an opportunity to take a look at some of the most significant events in the history of highways in the United States.
