Former President Dwight Eisenhower reimagined America’s transportation infrastructure with the Interstate Highway System in the 1950s. Today, President Joe Biden’s sweeping American Jobs Plan echoes the bold investment of the Eisenhower administration.

Introduction
As explained in the FreightWaves Classics article about Interstate 2 (I-2), there are 70 primary interstate highways in the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways (commonly known as the Interstate Highway System, or IHS). The IHS is a network of the major freeways in the United States. The oldest parts of the interstate system date back to the 1950s, although planning for the system began prior to World War II. To learn more about their history, read previous FreightWaves Classics articles here, here and here.
In this article and future articles, information about specific interstates will be explored. As most people know, interstate highways are assigned one- or two-digit route numbers (such as I-10 or I-55). Associated “auxiliary” interstate highways (spurs and loops) receive three-digit route numbers (such as I-270, I-495, etc.).
