The first 4-lane highway system was the German Autobahn, its construction began shortly after the 1933 takeover by Hitler and the Nazies.
General Eisenhower observed the German Autobahn during the invasion of Germany in WW2 and the occupation after the war. When he became president he pushed for and eventually got passed the bill authorizing the National Defense and Interstate Highway System in 1956.
Between WW2 and 1956 several 4-lane limited access toll road systems had been built with either private funding and/or state funding.
