Eisenhower and the Interstate Highway System
Our unity as a nation is sustained by free communication of thought and by easy transportation of people and goods. The ceaseless flow of information throughout the Republic is matched by individual and commercial movement over a vast system of interconnected highways criss-crossing the Country and joining at our national borders with friendly neighbors to the north and south.HTMLBREAKTogether, the uniting forces of our communication and transportation systems are dynamic elements in the very name we bear--United States. Without them, we would be a mere alliance of many separate parts.

B
To promote suburban growth and alleviate city congestion.
C
To enhance national unity and facilitate efficient commerce and communication.
D
To provide an alternative to railroads for transporting goods, aiming to reduce costs.
