1946 Nebraska becomes the first State to accept its tentatively integrated Interstate System, a map of which PRA had transmitted to the State highway agencies on March 14 for their concurrence.

Seven States had not replied officially and four had proposed alternate routes that did not meet the routes proposed by adjoining States. (See August 2, 1947.)
