    SCHOOL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING JOINT HIGHWAY RESEARCH PROJECT JHRP-75-26 HISTORY OF THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM IN INDIANA - VOLUME I DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATIONAL PROGRAM David A. Ripple PURDUE UNIVERSITY INDIANA STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION Final Report HISTORY OF THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM IN INDIANA TO: J. F. McLaughlin, Director December 1, 1975 Joint Highway Research Project Project: C-36-64H FROM: II. L. Michael, Associate Director Joint Highway Research Project File: 3-5-8 Attached is the Final Report titled "History of the Interstate System in Indiana", authored by David A. Ripple a Graduate Instructor on our staff while conducting the research and authoring the Report. Professor W. L. Grecco, formerly of our staff, directed the study during its initial year and Professor Michael supervised it during the latter years and handled the lengthy review process. The Report has been re- viewed by several personnel of the ISHC, including Mr. Walter Frick, and changes suggested by them have generally been made and are sincerely appreciated. The History covers the period from the late 1930 's through 1972. The Interstate System was not yet complete in 1972 and the period after 1972 is not reported herein. Perhaps it will be at a later date after the System is completed. The Report is voluminous and therefore is issued in four (4) volumes as follows: Volume I - Development of the National Program (Chapters I thru IV) Volume II - Evolution of Policies and Standards (Chapter V) Volume III - Route History (Chapter VI) Volume IV - Cost, Funding and General Benefits (Chapters VII and VIII) Another volume as an Appendix which is a detailed Table titled "Interstate Highway Construction Record" is also in preparation and will be issued at a later date.
