Connecticut: New Haven, 1961. — 418 p.In 1956, the Congress of the United States authorized a long-term program of expanded highway construction, financed through special federal taxes paid by motor vehicle owners. The program is administered through the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads, which has supervised all federal-aid highway projects since 1916.
A key element of this expanded road program is the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways - a nationally connected 41,000-mile network of urban and rural freeway routes.Growth of Urbanization and Travel
