Question: Which U.S. president signed legislation to commission the creation of I-95?
Answer: President Dwight D. Eisenhower
The country’s most traveled road, I-95, was commissioned in 1956 by the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act, signed by President Eisenhower. It spans nearly 2,000 miles from Florida to Maine. The North-South Interstate is a crucial link for tourism and commerce, connecting scenic New England with the southern tip of Florida.
The interstate passes through 15 states, more than any other highway, and follows nearly the same route that soldiers traveled during the American Revolution. It has more than 600 exits, nearly 500 24/7 gas stations, and many public rest stops.
