Controlled-access highways as we know them today really didn't exist back then, even as an idea.A good argument could be made for the reverse. Many of today's major roads evolved from 19th century toll roads aka turnpikes. These were privately built. Access was definitely controlled. NY state took over the remaining turnpikes around 1897. |
