Celebrating the Interstate's Anniversary

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Interstate Highway System calls for a review of the conceptualization, the engineering feats, the funding, and the realization of a dream by many professionals working together for their entire careers. This issue of TR News takes the opportunity to acknowledge this tremendous body of work and to examine all aspects of its legacy. The articles in turn ask us to consider our own accomplishments and challenges in the light of this great work of our predecessors.
