REGIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY NETWORK IN THE SOUTHEAST. TECHNICAL SERIES NO. 1

The 66,000-mile United States Interstate Highway System now nearing completion does not create a new network of transport access, but rather superimposes new capacity over main links of the existing rail and road system. This research is concerned with the impact of this enhanced accessibility on population redistribution in ten southeastern states, primarily during the 1960's, the decade during which most of the system was constructed, and for which, at this writing, data are most fully available.
