History

Early roads

US 40's history can be traced back several centuries. Several well established Native American footpaths, including Nemacolin's Path and Mingo Path in the Maryland-Pennsylvania area, followed similar alignments to US 40. ^[27] Early American colonists established roads, some following the established Native American paths, that would later serve as US 40. These included a segment of post road between Wilmington, Delaware and Baltimore, Maryland. Wilmington is the largest city in the state of Delaware, United States and is located at the confluence of the Christina River and Brandywine ^[28] In 1755, during the French and Indian Wars, General Edward Braddock blazed a trail en route to capture Fort Duquesne (modern Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania). The French and Indian Wars is a name used in the United States for a series of conflicts in North America that represented the actions there that accompanied General Edward Braddock (January 1695 &ndash July 13, 1755) was a British soldier and commander-in-chief for North America during the actions at the start of the Fort Duquesne (originally called Fort Du Quesne) was a Fort established by the French in 1754, at the junction of the Allegheny US 40 closely follows this route between Cumberland, Maryland and Uniontown, Pennsylvania.

A toll road, (also known as a tollway, turnpike, pike, or toll highway, especially if it is constructed to Freeway standards Three of these would later serve as part of US 40: the Baltimore and Havre de Grace Turnpike, the Baltimore and Frederick Turnpike, and Bank Road. Havre de Grace ( HDG) is a city in Harford County Maryland, United States.

The Victory Highway was an Auto trail across the United States between New York City and San Francisco, roughly equivalent to the present The road was named as a memorial to fallen World War I veterans. Other than two sections (one in California and one in Kansas/Colorado) most of the original route of US 40 west of Kansas City used Victory Highway. ^[32][33] According to a 1926 guide published about the Victory Highway, it was the fastest route between San Francisco and Salt Lake City, allowing travellers to complete the 784-mile (1,262 km) trip "comfortably and in high gear in from 3 to 4 days. "^[34] Controversy over the routing of US 40 over the Victory Highway led to a "divided route", with US 40S following the Victory Highway and US 40N taking a more northerly route. ^[33]

This would have disrupted the organized numbering system, however, and the National Road became US 40 in the original 1925 plan for U. S. Routes. To this day, many places still name US 40 "National Road", even where the alignment was moved from the original road. Besides US 40, much of the National Road is paralleled by segments of Interstates 68 and 70. Interstate 68 (I-68 is an Interstate Highway in the United States.

Evolution of US 40

In 1926, the road had a total mileage of 3,228 miles (5,195 km). Though the eastern terminus was planned for State Road, Delaware, by 1927 it was moved to Atlantic City, New Jersey. The western terminus was San Francisco via an auto ferry across San Francisco Bay from Berkeley, California (see Berkeley Pier).
