Title: CONNECTICUT'S PLAN TO MEET IMPACT OF THE 1956 HIGHWAY ACT
Abstract: The Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 ended an avalanche of public debate, professional and lay discussion, innumerable hearings, and special meetings. The United States Bureau of Public Roads and the state highway officials have helped to shape the huge master plan for overhauling the sprawling, inefficient and exhausted United States highway system. The system aims primarily at satisfying the needs of the national system of interstate and defense highways, a 41,000-mile network of modern roads and expressways to connect all of the states, linking together almost all of the American cities having populations of 50,000 or more. This article discusses how the state of Connecticut plans to conform to the policies and procedures detailed in the act.
