About the Episode

Plans for an interstate highway had been around since the Depression but finally came to fruition under President Eisenhower, who had seen the value of good roads as he led troops through Germany during WWII. This undertaking – the largest engineering project in human history – would also accelerate an exodus to suburbia.
