Interstate 11 is getting another boost with execution of a memorandum of understanding between Arizona and Mexico.
One of the four international cooperation agreements to be signed by Gov. Doug Ducey and the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs Jose Antonio Meade extends I-11 from Nogales into Mexico to Hermosillo and Mexico City.
The international commerce corridor MOU grew out of a conversation between Arizona business leaders, Ducey and Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim at the Phoenix Business Journal’s Global Market Discovery series earlier this year.

Efforts by local supporters and the Arizona Congressional delegation, along with Arizona Republican Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake, and California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, got I-11 assigned to a route that runs from the Mexican to Canadian borders.
One segment of I-11 in Nevada is already under construction northward from Hoover Dam to Henderson. Arizona is in the process of planning I-11’s route from Las Vegas through Phoenix to Tucson and Nogales.
Ending an international commerce corridor at the Mexican border makes no sense, so when Slim was in town, I-11 leaders talked with the telecommunications executive about the benefits of connecting U.S. I-11 to Mexico Route 15.
The MOU, once executed, puts Arizona’s southern neighbor to work identifying the route M-15 will follow through the heart of Mexico’s industries.
More than 45 percent of Arizona’s exports now go to Mexico. Many are held up by long lines at clogged border crossings.
The illegal aliens’ super freeway to “citizenship”.
Let's add some states!
Cause you can’t get drugs and gang members here fast enough on current roads?
Its all about eliminating borders to the globalist cartel.
Has anyone pointed out that we DON’T HAVE THE FUNDS TO MAINTAIN THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE???
NAFTA Corridor 26 / Interstate 11 Multimodal Corridor
has been planned for a long time.
The same way I -94/69 becomes the Ontario 402 freeway?

This sounds suspiciously like a retread of Vincente Fox’s and George W. Bush’s Plan Puebla Panama, whose American segment included the Trans Texas Corridor, a massive superhighway bisecting America, from southern Mexico to Canada.
The Texas opinion of the TTC should not be mentioned in polite society, let’s just say it was “negative”.
The basic concept was to first, depopulate southern Mexico by sending vast numbers of illegal aliens north to the US; which they did. Then to turn southern Mexico into a gigantic hemispheric transportation hub for shipping, for ships, rail, aircraft, and highways.
The idea was also larded with the idea of turning the Americas into something like the EU, a massive, internationalist trading bloc.
Other parts of the PPP were two massive rail links on the west and east coasts, and though the US administration passionately denied it, while setting up committees to bring it about, creating a single currency to replace the dollar and peso, called the “Amero”, based on the Euro.
In other words, every aspect of this plan was cancer.
While building an I-11 from Vegas to Phoenix could work, it is unnecessary, in that neither city has much the other city wants. But extending the road to Mexico City is just an awful idea.
Right now, the Pan American highway already follows this route, more or less, and while it is a good highway in Mexico during daylight hours, after dark, it is a death trap as there are DWI drivers everywhere. By enlarging it further just means higher speeds and more drunks.
You sure missed the point of my post! Not much military experience?
Or I-87 becomes Autoroute 15 in Quebec?
Or I-95 becomes Route 95 in New Brunswick?
The CANAMEX Corridor, identified by North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), is designated by FHWA as a Congressional High Priority Corridor and includes:• I-19 from Nogales to Tucson (Arizona)
• I-10 from Tucson to Phoenix (Arizona)
• US 93 from Wickenburg to Las Vegas (Arizona/Nevada)
• I-15 from Las Vegas to the Canadian border (Nevada and beyond)
The segment of the CANAMEX Corridor, including US 93 between Wickenburg and Las Vegas, has recently been named an 'NHS High Priority Corridor designated as a future Interstate,' otherwise known as I-11, through the Moving Ahead in the 21st Century (MAP-21) legislation (FHWA 2012).

A guy named ‘Toll’ writes a story about a road?
That’s like an ice cream man named ‘Cone’.
BTW, NWO can take their NAFTA and stick it in their ear.
