English: The National Road (also known as the Cumberland Road and National Pike) was the first major improved highway in the United States built by the federal government. The 620-mile (1,000 km) road was built between 1811 and 1837, from Cumberland, Maryland to Vandalia, Illinois. Today, much of the road's alignment is followed by U.S. Route 40.
Beyond the National Road's eastern terminus at Cumberland and toward the Atlantic coast, a series of private toll roads and turnpikes were constructed, connecting the National Road (also known as the Old National Pike) with Baltimore. Completed in 1824, these feeder routes formed what is referred to as an eastern extension of the federal National Road.
