Gribblenation Roadcast

When the 1968 Federal-Aid Highway Bill was passed, 1500 new miles were added to the Interstate Highway System.  The Chair of the House Subcommittee on Roads, John Kluczynski, asked each state's highway department to send him their list of desired additions to the system.  The states' responses of course varied, but they do paint a picture into how the Interstate Highway System got to where it is today.
