THE NATIONAL SYSTEM OF INTERSTATE AND. DEFENSE HIOHWAYS
• STATUS OF IMPROVEMENT AS OP JUNE 30, 19011.
Traffic Life -Saver
Farm products are shipped
more quickly and with less
loss from spoilage.
But of mos€ benefit; it is
truly a life saver. '
In 196ftean estimate sub-
mitted to Congress by the
Federal Highway Adminis-
tration fixed the cost of the
thef1441,000-mile system at'
• $56.5 billion, of which the
the Federal share was $50.6
billion. But that same year,
I Congress increased the mile-
� age from 41,000 to 42,500 to
fill missing, critical links be-
tween major cities. The cost
of the system necessarily will
rise, and a new estimate will
be submitted to Congress in
1970.
The I -system is a pay-as-
you-go program. When it is
finished it will be fully paid
for with no long term in-
debtedness hanging over its
future.

Federal Highway Administrator
With over two-thirds of the Interstate Highway System
already open to traffic, the day is cloUwhen the 42,500 -mile
network of controlled -access roads f finished and its benefits
can be enjoyed to the fullest:
At the end of fiscal year 1969, 28,219 miles were -in use,
construction was taking place on another 5,259 miles, and
preliminary engineering or right-of-way. acquisition was
underway on an additional 6,956 miles. Mileage opened to-
taled 67 percent, Chile some form of work was under wary or
completed on ,434 miles - about 95 'percent .of the 42,500
miles.

is supported entirely by Fed-
eral road user taxes. .
Of the many user benefits
stemming from the Inter-
state System, probably the
most welcome and the most
important is the saving of ,
lives. For each five miles of
the system opened to traffic,
a life is saved during each
year thereafter. Because it
is designed and built with
primary interest for safety,
the system is expected to ..
save . at least 8,300 lives an-
nually once it is finished. In-
terstate travel is more. than
twice as safe as on conven-
-tional roads replaced by the
neW IS routes.
Although it constitutes on-
ly a bit more than 1 percent .
of the country's 3.7 million
miles of roads and streets,
the system will carry at least .
20. percent -of all-t3i ation s- ---

more than 90 percent of
America's cities with popu-
lations of 50,000 or more.
