Look Back: How I-10 became Pearl Harbor Memorial HighwayIn Arizona, Interstate 10 goes by a few different names.
But that last one is more than just a name – it’s a designation that honors survivors of the attack on Pearl Harbor. This shift in emphasis was formalized with the Defense Highway Act of 1941, which was enacted just before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Replacing the peacetime federal highway aid bill, the 1941 legislation established a national Strategic Network of Highways and limited federal highway funding to roads that were part of that network.
About 50 years after the war ended, Arizona legislators passed a resolution designating the portion of I-10 that runs through Arizona as the “Pearl Harbor Memorial Highway.”
