Scenarios about 'Federal-Aid Highway Act'
The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 authorized the construction of the Interstate Highway System in the United States, creating over 40,000 miles of limited-access highways across the country. This landmark legislation, championed by President Eisenhower, transformed American transportation infrastructure, commerce, and culture by enabling rapid interstate travel, suburban development, and a national trucking network.
