Nationwide highway input could boost economy by 25 billion
An article in Nations Business uses annual traffic, highway spending, and gross national product figures to argue that proper highway facilities would have raised the U S gross national product by 25 billion and pushed highway traffic 50 percent higher. It contends that with adequate roads the national product could reach 550 billion by 1965 and surpass a trillion two decades later. The piece notes postwar funding cuts slowed road progress and worsened congestion, despite a booming economy.
