English term or phrase: 820-mile National Road
Buenas tardes.
¿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!

Spanish translation:Carretera Nacional de 620 millas
Explanation:
O bien tu texto está equivocado, o Wikipedia se come 200 millas...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Road

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

Saludos cordiales.
