Paving America
Description
The complete tale of the construction of our grand national highway system, from its beginnings in 1912 (it was conceived by auto and headlight tycoons) to its completion in 1984 (when the last stoplight was removed--and buried). We'll visit important projects and relive important milestones along the way and hear from the people who helped realize this expansive vision.
