  • Description: The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 authorized and financed the Interstate Highway System to complete 41,000 miles of interstates by 1969. Unlike suburban locations, central neighborhoods already had superior accessibility circa 1950 (they were near the central business district); therefore, the effect of new interstates on central neighborhoods was mostly a reduction in local quality of life, leading to lower population and prices. Authors Jeffrey Brinkman is a senior economist in the Research Department at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
