Highway A1 (Tseng)

Highway A1 (Chinese: A1國道) also called Highway 1 or just A1, is a major highway in the Tseng Republic. It connects the country from east to west.

History
Before the 1960s, there weren't any highways in Tseng. To get from one city to another you'd had to go on different roads to get to your destination, which was very time-consuming. The road from Huanzhou to Lizhong was a dirt road.

After getting elected for a third term in 1954 Pierre Huang-li promised the building of a highway that would connect Tseng, however he was assassinated before he could do anything.

In 1963, the (then) president, Frederik Bao ordered the construction of a new highway, and he pulled many people, most of them businessmen from Tseng City, to build the road. The training the people received was poor, and due to the Dazhuo there were many strikes, fights, and even deaths. By 1969, the only part built was from Tseng City to Jianglan, a town immediately west of the Tseng City-Touzhou border.

In the 1970s, due to the Wuxia Miracle, the highway was quickly built. In 1972, when it reached Pushan, it was given the designation of A1 and was upgraded to a freeway, and in 1976, only 4 years later, it reached Huanzhou.

The highway reached Lizhong in 1985. On May 28, 1992, the road from Tseng City to Huanzhou became a freeway.

Tseng City-Pushan
Highway A1 begins at an interchange with Highway A5 in Tseng City. The highway curves through skyscrapers and buildings as it passes through the capital. Houses and buildings become less numerous and farmland and plains appears as A1 exits Tseng City. The highway reaches Pushan but very little of the city is seen because the highway bypasses most of Pushan.
