Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956: Creating the Interstate SystemAre you this delusional - you're talking about shit that happened 100+ years ago..
Those roads that WERE paved 75-100 years ago are all maintained by the states now - NOT the federal government.... Not to mention every road that was built in Illinois (outside federal land, such as military bases and national parks) were built via the tax revenue of the residents of Illinois - and the same goes for every state.
The federal government has NOTHING to do with building roads or bridges on state owned land...
Do you even recognize the difference between state and federal?????
BTW, why the fuck do you thing routes change from time to time when they're essentially the same road??? Oh yeah because they were paved by the state - not the federal government...
You poor, ignorant soul.
And who maintains those roads?
And who builds new roads?
The state and the state...
If a municipality wanted to build a fucking road who do you think pays for it dumb mutherfucker??? the federal government or the state????
Oh yeah that's right it's the state.....
A Florida resident doesn't pay to have roads paved in Hawaii.... Do you not get that dumb motherfucker???
OMG!!!!!
The United States Highway Trust Fund is a transportation fund which receives money from a federal fuel tax of 18.4 cents per gallon on gasoline and 24.4 cents per gallon of diesel fuel and related excise taxes.[1] It currently has three accounts, the Highway Account which funds road construction, a smaller 'Mass Transit Account' which supports mass transit and also a 'Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund'. It was established 1956 to finance the United States Interstate Highway System and certain other roads. The Mass Transit Fund was created in 1982. The federal tax on motor fuels yielded $28.2 billion in 2006.[2] In 2008 the fund required an additional $8 billion from general taxation due to reduced receipts from fuel tax in order to meet its obligations.

The Fed allocates money for each state for their highways, thusly the Fed, the state and local communities all pay for highways/roads.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is an agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation that supports State and local governments in the design.
