Begun in
1913, the
Lincoln Highway was the
United States first transcontinental automobile highway. It ran from
San Francisco, California in the west to
New York City, New York in the east. When the numbered highway system replaced the old named highway system in the late
1920s, most of the old Lincoln Highway became
United States Highway 30. The route can be roughly approximated by
United States Highway 1 (in
New York,
New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania), United States Highway 30 (east of
Grand Island, Nebraska),
Interstate 80 (west of Grand Island and east of
Salt Lake City), dirt road through
Fish Springs, Utah[?] (west of
Tooele, Utah and east of
Ibapah, Utah[?]) connecting to
United States Highway 93[?] (south of dirt road and north of
Ely, Nevada), and
United States Highway 50[?] (west of Ely) today. Long after most other named highways have vanished by the wayside, markers still exist that delineate the route of the Lincoln Highway.
