820-mile National Road
¿Alguien sabe cómo se le llama en español a esta ruta de Estados Unidos?
Encuentro la frase en un libro de historia para escuela primaria.
"In the 1750s, George Washington helped build a road through a forest in Ohio.
Between 1811 and 1834, the 820-mile National Road replaced it."
¡Gracias!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Pero parece que se refieren a la "Carretera de Cumberland"...
Saludos cordiales.

Cierto, John; no advertí ese error en el texto original.

"In the 1750s, George Washington helped build
a road through a forest in Ohio. Between 1811
and 1834, the 820-mile National Road replaced it.
The strip connected Illinois, Indiana, Maryland,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. This
made traveling easier, faster, and safer. The road
also allowed people to settle new areas and move
supplies."
