I'm not sure that Federal money did build 128 in the first place.  I think 
the original Route 128 was built in the early 50s, before the Interstate 
Highway program.  The road was widened in the early 60s, probably with 
some federal money, but nobody made it a Federal interstate highway at 
that time.
