  • 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.

  • US23 Route Is That You Avoid Congested Detroit and of Course Have Less Exposure to Accident Traffic Incidents with Resulting Backups
    Direct southbound route from Flint, Michigan to Perrysburg, Ohio (I-75 exit 192) From Flint, Michigan, Interstate-75 takes a significant turn to the southeast as it runs towards downtown Detroit ... and onwards to Toledo in Ohio. For those driving from the UP, Sault Ste Marie and other points in Michigan north of Flint, here is a route which avoids Detroit and the extra southeast I-75 miles; it is a direct southbound path which rejoins I-75 just below Toledo. Parts of the route are through rural country on a two-lane open highway while others are on a two lane limited access route similar to an interstate. The advantage of the US23 route is that you avoid congested Detroit and of course have less exposure to accident traffic incidents with resulting backups. Comparison Via I-75: time/dist. from Flint to Toledo/I-75 exit 192 = 147 miles (237km) 2:55 hours. Via US23 route: time/dist from Flint to Toledo/I-75 exit 192 = 130 miles (209km) 3:00 hours. Alternative US23 Route 1. On I-75 just south of Flint, Michigan, move to the two right lanes and take exit 115 - US23 to Ann Arbor. 2. Continue of US23 through Fenton, Brighton and Whitmore Lake to Ann Arbor. 3. Just north of Ann Arbor, move to left two lanes and continue following US23South - Toldeo (do not take exit 45, or follow US23 Business or signs to Ann Arbor). The road bends to the east (left) for 2.5 miles (4kms). 4. Stay in right two lanes.

  • The Interstate Highway System Turns 60
    The Interstate Highway System turns 60: Challenges to Its Ability to Continue to Save Lives, Time and Money JUNE 27, 2016 202-466-6706 tripnet.org Founded in 1971, TRIP ® of Washington, DC, is a nonprofit organization that researches, evaluates and distributes economic and technical data on surface transportation issues. TRIP is sponsored by insurance companies, equipment manufacturers, distributors and suppliers; businesses involved in highway and transit engineering and construction; labor unions; and organizations concerned with efficient and safe surface transportation. Executive Summary Sixty years ago the nation embarked on its greatest public works project, the construction of the Interstate Highway System. President Dwight D. Eisenhower provided strong support for the building of an Interstate Highway System that would improve traffic safety, reduce travel times and improve the nation’s economic productivity. Serving as the most critical transportation link in the nation’s economy, the Interstate Highway System has significantly improved the lives of U.S. residents and visitors. Throughout the nation, the Interstate system allows for high levels of mobility by greatly reducing travel times and providing a significantly higher level of traffic safety than other routes. But 60 years after President Eisenhower articulated a vision for the nation’s transportation system, the U. S. again faces a challenge in modernizing its aging and increasingly congested Interstate highway system. If Americans are to continue to enjoy their current level of personal and commercial mobility on Interstate highways and bridges, the nation will need to make a commitment to identifying a long-term funding source to support a well-maintained Interstate Highway System able to meet the nation’s need for additional mobility.
