Eisenhower Interstate System

The Eisenhower Interstate System is a network of high-speed highways in the United States, built to improve transportation efficiency, safety, and national defense. Initiated in the 1950s under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, it connects major cities across states, enabling faster travel for businesses, commuters, and emergency response. These highways are characterized by multiple lanes, limited access points, and standardized design for smooth flow. The system has enhanced economic growth, mobility, and connectivity, forming the backbone of America's road infrastructure and significantly shaping the country's development.
