I heard a podcast the other night that absolutely fascinated me. It's about the Eisenhower Interstate system.
Check out these numbers...
It is over 47,000 miles long!
The single longest section is I-90 from Boston, MA to Seattle, WA
The most used section is I-405 in California. Over 300,000 vehicles use it regularly!
The last section built was in 1992, I-70 through Glenwood Canyon in Colorado.
One of the widest sections is in Atlanta, GA at one point it has over 15 lanes.
Wow.
The really interesting part for us is that Doreen and I have been on all those different sections and probably traveled over most of the interestate system at one time or another.
Just some useless info for you day! :)
