Route 40 History

New Jersey > Delaware > Maryland > Pennsylvania > West Virginia > Ohio > Indiana > Illinois > Missouri > Kansas > Colorado > Utah > Nevada > California
The first federally funded road in the United States (1800’s).


U.S. Route 40 is an east-west United States highway. As with most routes whose numbers end in a zero, U.S. 40 once traversed the entire United States. It is one of the original 1920s U.S. Highways, and its first termini were San Francisco, California, and Atlantic City, New Jersey. The western end has been truncated several times, and the route now ends at Interstate 80 just outside of Park City, Utah, near Salt Lake City.
