Ribbon Snipped Opening Turnpike Era Opens Vast System
Gov Dewey snipped the ribbon at the first 115 miles of the New York State Thruway signaling the turnpike era. By 1954 nearly 400 miles of the 427 mile route will be in service making the longest toll road chain in America. The move marks a shift toward a modern highway network aimed at high speed, minimal interruptions, and cross country connectivity from New York to Chicago and beyond with plans for Chicago Florida routes and links to western states. The achievement honors American energy and engineering as a national transportation web expands toward 1960.
