The National Road is a comprehensive history of the first federally
financed interstate highway, an approximately 600-mile span that
joined Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and
Illinois in the nineteenth century. This book covers the road's
contribution to the cultural, economic, and administrative history
of the United States, its decline during the second half of the
nineteenth century, and its revival in the twentieth century in the
form of U.S. Route 40. The story of the National Road embraces an
account of its building, its constitutional significance, the
unique culture that it represented, the movements and trends that
transpired across its route, and the symbolic value that it held,
and continues to hold, for the American people. Beyond its status
as an American heritage symbol, it serves as a forceful reminder
that the United States must continue to pursue the goal of
sustainable national investment that began with the National Road
and comparable projects during the early republic.
