Show Notes
The interstate highway system, a colossal project spanning three decades and costing over $300 billion, has transformed American travel and urban landscapes. Inspired by President Eisenhowers vision, it connects the nation with 48,000 miles of high-speed roads. However, construction was fraught with challenges, including deadly accidents and displacement of predominantly Black and low-income families. Today, interstates handle a quarter of all traffic, supporting millions of jobs, but congestion is a growing issue. As the system ages, leaders must address maintenance costs and rising demands to ensure its continued smooth operation.
