The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 The law authorized the construction of a 41,000-mile network of interstate highways that would span the nation. It also allocated $26 billion to pay for them. Under the terms of the law the federal government would pay 90 percent of the cost of expressway construction.

Hope this helps and have a great day
