Old Spanish Trail to Connect Coasts as Nation Builds Road
By end of 1931 a southern long route will allow driving from Maine to San Antonio and beyond to California on hard surfaced roads. The Old Spanish Trail links Atlantic and Pacific across eight states with minimal ferries, crossing major bays and the Mississippi, and runs along historic missions. The project, costing over 110 million dollars with federal and local support, aims to spur settlement and commerce as tourists discover the southern route.
