The Yountville bypass, completed in 1959, ended the bottleneck of traffic on Washington Street in Yountville and allow faster travel through the Napa Valley. Building the new 2.7-mile section of State Road 29 in Yountville included moving the railroad tracks from the east to the west side of the highway and constructing the "Veterans' Home Memorial Bridge" bridge over California Drive.

In this case, Mr. Brandt had filed a lawsuit against the Federal Government for "the right-of-way crossing" his land had extinguished after the cessation of the railroad activity in the corridor. The Government had argued that this right was created by the Federal General Railroad Right-of-Way Act of 1875 and should be valid on the gounds that the railroad line was affirmed to be abandoned. While reviewing this case, it must be determined whether or not that the Government, under this Act, had retained an interest in the abandoned railroad right-of-way.

The history of the Chicago Skyway began in 1928, when the City Council of Chicago—motivated by the desire to strengthen connections between the city and the country’s Midwestern industrial base—requested a study for an elevated roadway to be constructed above the Pennsylvania Rail Road’s right of way. Although this proposal did not ultimately come to fruition, the planning set the stage on which the road would be built adjacent to this railroad. Concurrently, the Chicago Plan Commission had begun researching a southern extension of Lake Shore Drive beyond Jackson Park as a means to connect the city with Indiana. This study resulted in two possibilities for extending the roadway. The first possibility was to extend Lake Shore Drive along Stony Island Avenue to the Pennsylvania Railroad Right of way where it would proceed in the same manner as proposed in the 1928 plan; the second possibility was to simply extend the roadway along lake fill to Rainbow Beach Park, where it would then merge onto South Commercial Avenue which would carry it to Indiana Avenue.

The Transcontinental Railroad network connected the East and the West coasts; it was completed on May 10, 1869. It increased America’s imports and exports, as well as generated a national interest in tourism; however, the construction of such project encountered a series of issues. These ranged from corruption, the reluctant choice to hire Chinese workers and environmental obstacles. Thanks to the vision of some individuals and the authorization of President Abraham Lincoln, the Transcontinental Railroad became a reality; once the project was completed it connected the entire country and increased production for both the Pacific and the Atlantic.

National Railroads (Cumberland)- National Railroads were built by the use of federal money which proceeded in stages. This road was a journey from Cumberland, Maryland to Vandalia, Illinois and would provide important infrastructure for economic development. Although, after the advent of canals, railroads, and the telegraph this will soon become less important after the 1850s.

In September 1942 to regiments made contact 35th and 307th regiments made contact near Watson Lake. Efforts then where shifted to the north where a hundred mile section still needed completed. This gap was between 97th and 18th regiment, the 97th was ordered to only make a one lane section in that area to speed up the process. This section would be improved and widen after the road was complete. On October 25th the 97th finally meet up with 18th at Beaver Creek finishing the project in just eight months instead of the two years planned for the project. Over the years there has been several improvements to the road to improve it. The road is much shorter now because of improved routes selected cutting out several switch backs, grades of hills have also been improved and the highway is paved now.

The agencies were very conscious and strategic when considering areas where the streetcar lines should be implemented.

“The project was halted in 1963: some fifty miles of road was eventually built, but no bridges were ever erected over the many rivers it transected, and the route was shortly rendered impassable by thawing permafrost and seasonal floods. Yutan hauled two of the buses back to the highway. The third bus was left about halfway out the trail to serve as a backcountry shelter for hunters and trappers” (Krakauer 10).
