Celebrating 100 years in 2026, U.S. Highway 40 was established Nov. 11, 1926, as part of the United States Numbered Highway System, and was designed to create an integrated network of roads for transporting goods and people across the country. The highway ran from Atlantic City, N.J., to San Francisco, CA. and earned the nickname "Main Street of America."
Its eastern portions incorporate the famous National Road—the first federally funded highway in U.S. history, initially constructed between 1811 and 1834.
Highway 40 travels the full length of Colfax Avenue in Colorado.
