Today is the anniversary of the passage of the Federal-Aid Interstate Highway Act in 1956.
The story of how the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 (also known as the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act) came about is an interesting one.
In 1919, 28-year-old Lieutenant Colonel Dwight D. Eisenhower participated in the popular convoy across the Lincoln highway, which was the longest road in the country at that time. The trip was exhausting and took too long for Eisenhower's liking.
During World War II, Eisenhower observed the popular German autobahn network and was very impressed by it. These two events spurred him to announce his ""Grand Plan"" for highways in 1954 once President of the United States. It became law two years later on June 29, 1956.
