"Officer, I'm always careful to drive the speed limit no matter where I am and that's what I was doin'." Said "No, you weren't," she said, "Yes, I was." He said, "Madam, I just clocked you at 22 MPH," and she said "That's the speed limit," he said "No ma'am, that's the route numbah!"  - Gary Crocker

That highway was built really quick (2 yrs.) if those dates are correct.  Something like that now would take at least 4 yrs., with the destruction of the houses, fill, grading, and paving.  Of course, this is Texas and there might have been mild winters to allow a faster completion schedule plus they did not have to do any environmental studies back then.
I don't need a GPS.  I AM the GPS! (for family and friends)
