Proposed interstate highways
Interstate highway construction is coordinated by the U.S. Department of Transportation in conjunction with the transportation departments of the various states. Funding typically comes from a match between state funds and federal highway trust funds. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) has defined a set of standards that all new Interstates must meet unless a waiver from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is obtained. AASHTO also assigns numbers to new interstate routes.
On October 14, 1992, the original Interstate Highway system was completed, but the system continues to be expanded and improved. In many cases, new interstate highway routes are the subject of specific Congressional action or earmarks.
