Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1952
The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1952 authorized $25 million for the Interstate Highway System on a 50–50 matching basis, meaning the federal government paid 50% of the cost of building and maintaining the interstate while each individual state paid the balance for interstate roads within their borders.
