520 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.
