  • The Interstate Highway System: 50 Years of Perspective Jerome Hall and Loretta Hall
    The Interstate Highway System: 50 Years of Perspective Jerome Hall and Loretta Hall On June 29, 1956, President Dwight Eisenhower signed historic legislation that authorized construction of the Interstate Highway System and created a pay-as-you-go Highway Trust Fund to generate the federal government’s 90+ percent share of the system’s cost. Although Eisenhower is justifiably credited with making it a reality, the Interstate System is actually the result of a series of concepts that were refined over several prior decades within the engineering and political arenas. Developing the system required a visionary financing strategy that would satisfy diverse philosophical and economic view points. Designing the system presented unprecedented challenges for standardizing elements that would improve safety and be appropriate for a truly national highway system. The current 46,700-mile Interstate System generated transportation efficiencies and enabled societal mobility to unanticipated degrees. This paper traces the system’s conceptual development; describes its major political, societal, financial, and technical challenges; and evaluates its influences on the American way of life. Conceptual Development The federal government undertook its first interstate road building project in 1806, when it authorized federally funded construction of the National Road (now US 40). President Thomas Jefferson approved legislation to build the 20-foot-wide highway on 60-foot-wide right-of-way. The War of 1812 slowed construction of the first section from Cumberland, Maryland, to the Ohio River. After spirited debate about federal versus state powers, the federal government transferred ownership of the road to the states about 1835. The National Road was a macadam highway traversed by herded livestock and covered wagons.

  • I-64 Strategic Improvement Plan Executive Summary
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. INTRODUCTION The “Final Report: I-64 Strategic Improvement Plan” was prepared for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) as part of the Interstate 64 Strategic Corridor Planning Study. This study is documented through three (3) products: • Interim Report 1: Existing Conditions Analysis • Interim Report 2: I-64 Highway Needs Identification • Final Report: I-64 Strategic Improvement Plan The “Final Report” evaluates the effectiveness and environmental consequences of potential improvements to address existing and future deficiencies, and establishes priorities for improvements in the I-64 corridor incorporating projects from the I-64/I-75 Common Section Study. The final report includes information used in the evaluation and prioritization of operational improvement (capacity preservation) and functional improvement (capacity expansion) projects including pavement and bridge conditions, accidents (with associated analyses), and existing and forecasted traffic volumes (with associated capacity analyses). Work on this project was begun in 1998, and the completion of the study has been interrupted several times due to other priorities in the Division of Planning. Because of this, the study process and report are not typical of the types of process and report that the Division of Planning is doing currently. Further, the study does not reflect the latest data available at the time of its completion. Nevertheless, the data is still relatively recent and a cursory review of more recent data does not indicate any significant changes. Therefore, the conclusions of the report are still considered to be valid. B. PURPOSE AND SCOPE 1. Purpose The purpose of the Interstate 64 Strategic Corridor Planning Study is to recommend a long-range strategy for prioritized improvements along Interstate 64 (including the mainline and its interchanges) from I-265 (Snyder Freeway) in the Louisville metropolitan area to the Big Sandy River at the West Virginia line.
