Highway funding .. a trip down Memory Lane.
We've been down this road before: Federal highway funding is expected to run out on Thursday. In the end, Congress will to come through with another extension to let the Highway Trust Fund finance transportation infrastructure improvements. Those are badly needed, as American roads get a D grade from civil engineers. The nation's poor roads led President Dwight D. Eisenhower to support the Federal-Aid Highway Act in 1956, authorizing the creation of what came to be more than 45,000 miles of mostly toll-free high-speed roads. Mr. Eisenhower's passion for better roads went back to 1919. As a young lieutenant general back from World War I, he was part of an 80-vehicle military convoy that took 62 days to travel to San Francisco from Washington. The vehicles took a beating on the mostly unpaved roads, when they weren't slipping into a ditch or getting blown off a cliff. Crossing water sometimes meant building a bridge. Difficult, tiring, and fun, is what he called the trip, made at an average crawl of 6 miles per hour. Mr. Eisenhower's unforgettable road trip in 1919 ended up being a boon for American drivers.
