Highway 20
what when was it
The first coast-to-coast highway across the United States was the Lincoln Highway, established in 1913. It was not an Interstate highway; rather, it was a network of roads that connected New York City to San Francisco. The highway played a significant role in promoting automobile travel and the development of road infrastructure in the early 20th century. The Interstate Highway System, established later in 1956, was a separate initiative aimed at creating a network of high-speed roads across the country.
The first highway in the US was the wilderness road.
The first completed section (i.e. open to traffic) was I-70 in Kansas. From the Federal Highway Administration's website: "On Nov. 14, 1956, Gov. Fred Hall participated in a ribbon-cutting to open the newly paved road, and a sign was posted, identifying this section of I-70 as the "first project in the United States completed under the provisions of the new Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956."
The US has been paving roads on since the model T was introduced in the early 20th century. The 1950's was when the interstate highway system was made, however, which was by far the biggest addition to the road system ever
