Roads have been around for thousands of years but they did not have a national road system for the same amount of time. The national road system began in 1944 because president Eisenhower had crossed on crumbling roads and bridges with the military, which took them two months to do. He had thought it was necessary to have a national road system so that in case of emergency, people can get across the U.S. faster. Later on it was named after president Eisenhower.

The interstate highway system was developed because President Dwight Eisenhower realized that citizens weren't able to cross the U.S. quickly in case of an emergency. So, after many failed attempts to build an interstate highway system, the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1954 was passed. After that, over 41,012 miles of network roads were constructed two years later. Several more expansions of the Eisenhower Interstate System, named after the president that made it happen, were added to finally become the interstate highway system the U.S. has today.]]> 2017-03-03 17:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157683953 3 https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157683999 Roads haven't always been the way they are now. They used to be paths of animals that people followed to hunt.Roads in the U.S. haven't been as nice as they now are. President Eisenhower recalled that in 1919 he crossed th U.S. on undeveloped roads. In 1938 Congress attempted to create six different roads.Again, in 1944 Congress tried, but never got the money. Finally in 1954, a year into Dwight Eisenhower's Presidential term, the Federal-Aid Highway Act was passed. Then two years later a U.S international highway system was created. This highway system is now known as the Eisenhower Interstate System, named after the one who got it done. ]]> 2017-03-03 17:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157683999 99 https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157684024 2017-03-03 17:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157684024 45 https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157684053 2017-03-03 17:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157684053 17 https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157684061 Roads have been around for many years. It has changed from crude roads to pavement roads. In 1944, the government tried to build a better road system but that did not happen until Dwight Eisenhower became president. Once he became president in 1953, he made the construction happen. He made road history.]]> 2017-03-03 17:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157684061 8 https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157684129 President Eisenhower was the first u.s president to lead the idea of an interstate being built. Most "auto mobiles traffic moved on two lane roads until the 1950's, and he understood that "crumbling bridges and dirt roads" were not good enough for the u.s. The project got the money that was essential for the  job in 1954. ]]> 2017-03-03 17:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157684129 23 https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157684151 Roads have been around for thousands of years. The first hard surfaced American roads only appeared in the late 1700s. By the 1940s it was evident that the US needed a new road system.

The first national interstate system wasn't made until Dwight Eisenhower became president in 1953.

Eisenhower. When he came into office in 1953, Dwight Eisenhower knew a national roadway system was needed, due to his slow, crude experience in the military, where he took two months to take a convoy across the country. This led to the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1954 which passed with $175 million dollars earmarked for construction of a national system. Today, this interstate highway system, called the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways or the Eisenhower Interstate System, has more than 46,726 miles covering the country.   ]]> 2017-03-03 17:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157684165 13 asiannawillman5 https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157684166 Roads have been around for many years. First, they were made by animal paths, but were then changed as hard-surfaced roads for vehicles to drive on. Former president Dwight Eisenhower took action to making highways because he knew they were very much needed. Years later, the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1954 was passed, and highways were being made. Because of Dwight Eisenhower, people are able to travel quickly and smoothly by using highway systems. ]]> 2017-03-03 17:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157684166 7 https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157684192 Roads were made for better transportation.

The first known road was probably the paths of animals and the first hard surfaced American road was the Lancaster Turnpike completed in 1795. Many years after the Turnpike was completed, attempts to build national U.S. highways were made.  It wasn't until 1954, when The Federal-aid highway act was passed.  Dwight Eisenhower ended up creating over 46,726 miles of interstate highways. The interstate highway is now called the "Dwight D.

They first started off when animals would make a path so that they knew where they were going. In the mid-1950s they became two lane roads. The traffic would build up and it would take a long time for someone to get to there destination. Many people, like President Eisenhower, knew that this would have to be fixed.

But after the passage of time, in the early 1900s, many roads were in bad condition and very difficult to travel on. So, President Dwight Eisenhower rebooted the construction of a new international road system in 1953. This allowed for well made road systems that have lead to better transportation and the national interstate highways that we travel on today.]]> 2017-03-03 17:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bergerb1/summary/wish/157685179
