United States highway system to total 80000 miles
The federal bureau of public roads announces the U S system of highways will soon be complete with 80 000 miles of uniformly marked routes. A checkerboard national network links sections with even numbers for east and west and odd numbers for north and south. Main trunk lines run from 10 to 90 and cross routes add third digits to show connections. Route 11 runs from Rouses Point New York to New Orleans, while Route 1 also serves as a trunk line.
