The baby boom, which saw a significant increase in the U.S. Birth Rate after World War II, led to a surge in population and urban expansion. This demographic shift heightened the demand for efficient transportation and infrastructure to accommodate growing suburban areas. In response, the Interstate Highway Act of 1956 was enacted to create a comprehensive network of highways, facilitating travel, commerce, and access to new suburban developments. The resulting highway system not only supported the booming population but also transformed American society by promoting car culture and suburban lifestyles.
