Davison Freeway. The Davison Freeway was the first urban freeway constructed in the United States and is approximately five and a half miles long. The Davison Freeway was built in 1941 and 1942 and was opened in late 1942. From 1942 up until 1993, it was a county freeway, but in 1993 the freeway was transferred to state control and was named M-8.
Interstate Highways were intentionally numbered so that they would not conflict with the preexisting U.S. Numbered System; in fact, the intent was that no Interstate Highway and U.S. Highway would share the same number within the same state. I-24 and U.S. 24 currently both exist in Illinois.
