Ep 75 US Interstate Highways

Engineering News – Perseverance Rover Mars Sample (0:50)

This week’s engineering failure is the US Interstate Highway System (4:05). After receiving a funding and design boost through the US Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 (14:15), the interstate system was born with a more deliberate layout (18:25) than may seem. Despite it’s success, the interstate system is not without issue (30:40).
