Topic: John Hanson Highway


  
  John Hanson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Hanson (April 13, 1715 – November 22, 1783) was a delegate to the Continental Congress from Maryland.
John Hanson was first elected to represent Charles County in the colonial assembly in 1757.
Nevertheless, officially Hanson was the third presiding officer of the Congress of the United States, and he considered himself a successor to the first two men to hold the office, Samuel Huntington and Thomas McKean, who themselves were successors to prior Presidents of the Second Continental Congress.

 John Hanson Highway (US 50, US 301, and I-595)
Hanson recruited and led Southern troops for the Revolutionary Army under General George Washington and later served as the president of the Continental Congress.
By the mid-1970's, it became apparent that the four-lane John Hanson Highway was unable to handle the traffic load between Washington, Annapolis, and the Bay Bridge.
The existing highway was built on a 50-50 (Federal-state) formula common in the pre-Interstate era, but with the cancellation of several projects in the Baltimore and Washington metropolitan areas, state highway officials pushed to get Interstate (90-10, Federal-state) funding to improve US 50.

 National Freeway (I-68)
Maryland has always used the name "National Freeway" for this highway from the time that it was first planned, and the reason why is because it parallels the corridor of the old National Road built back in the 1800s.
The Interstate I-68 designation was planned for the reconstructed US-50 John Hanson Highway from the Capital Beltway to Annapolis, and that highway was approved for Interstate construction as I-68, in the mid-1980s, and construction, involving widening to three lanes each way, and new interchanges, ran from 1990 to 1995.
Maryland’s key segment of the highway network, to be called the National Freeway, was meant not only to boost the economy of Western Maryland, but to be part of an Interstate network connecting the Port of Baltimore with the Ohio River Valley and the Midwest.
