History of the Interstate Highway System
At the July 2006 ITE Western District meeting in Honolulu, Jerry Hall
presented a technical paper he coauthered with Loretta Hall on the
history of the US Interstate Highway system. Because
of the interest in the topic, Jerry and Loretta were asked by the
Editors of WesternITE to write a series of articles for the bimonthly
newsletter. The columns began in November/December 2006 and will conclude
in the Summer 2009. The final paper, Western Highlights of the Interstate System,
was presented at the July 2011 ITE Western District meeting in Anchorage, AK.
Links to the original paper, the WesternITE articles, and the Alaska paper
