When the first settlers in America came, they made roads on paths of animal footprints for hunting, but later, with cars and wagons, dirt roads didn't really work.President Dwight D. Eisenhower had gone far and wide across our nation in the military, and he knew these dirt roads and crumbling bridges needed improvement. He supported the highway financially with $175 million!

Early American settlers did most of their traveling by water and built some crude roads to the water's edge. The first hard-surfaced road was completed in 1795. In 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower wanted to create a highway system in America because he knew the roads needed to be improved. He supported the highway system financially and as a result, we have 46, 726 miles of highways.

Around the time when settlers first came to America there were not many roads because most travel was done by water. President  Dwight D. Eisenhower traveled  with his convoy across the U.S. and  it took  them  two months . They  had  to cross crumbling brigs and dirt roads. The trip took longer than it should of and was very dangerons. Many people tried to get a nation wide road syestem but it failed for lack of funding. When Eisenhower was elected president he set aside los of funds to start building the road. He supported and funded the brige so much because he had expirienced it so he new how big the need was.

Roads have been around for a long time, since 1795. When a man named Dwight Eisenhower became president, he knew he had to improve the road system , and wanted to create a national roadway system.  In past experiences, he'd crossed the U.S  on crumbling bridges and dirt roads. The federal aid highway act of 1954 was passed with $175 million dollars to build the system.
Even more money has been added, and after several expansions there are mow more than 46,726 miles of interstate highways.

Since the first Early American settlers came to America to now we all use roads. But who made the decision to build all 46,736 miles of road we have today that travel from the east coast of the united states to the nation?  Dwight Eisenhower was the man who made it all happen, since Dwight Eisenhower was in the military and he traveled across the U.S. on dirt rock roads he knew how long it toke and how dangerous it was. And that is why when he became President the first thing he did was pass the Federal Aid-Highway act.

For thousands of years, we have used roads as a way to get from one place to another, but back then they were just the footprints of animals that people followed to hunt. In 1795 the first hard surface road was built and was 62 miles long. President Dwight Eisenhower changed the way we travel because he experienced the dread of such terribly built bridges and dirt roads which just made the trip even worse. Luckily, now we have more than 46,726 miles of road for people to be able to get from one place to another quicker and easier.
