That is pretty cool...you can get almost anywhere using just those streets.

I was talking with my dad the other day about this, D might be able to confirm this but I believe the interstate road system was developed back when in order for the military to get troops, supplies across country in need.

Yeah that would make sense. It is pretty darn impressive. I don't think we'll ever see anything like that built in this country again.

The movement of troops and military supplies was certainly a factor. Eisenhower had been impressed by the German autobahn during WW2. I had to look this up though. ;)
