The National Road was the first major infrastructure project funded by the federal government in 1806. It became the primary artery of expansion from Maryland toward Ohio and the Midwest, symbolizing the opening up of the continent and the American spirit of Coast-to-Coast travel. Many sections still survive along modern U.S. Route 40 and continue to be used today.
