On the 50th anniversary of the Interstate Highways in the US, CR4 (a site that looks and feels so much like slashdot) has a five part series that looks at the history, politics and engineering of this grand system of highways. Fascinating stuff.
Part 1: A Giant Nationwide Engineering Project
Part 2: Roots of the Roads
Part 3: The Politics of Passage
Two more should be out later this week; I will add the links when they are published.
MSNBC also has a story on how the highways "moved America into another lane".
