Here's the map for the Congress-approved plan that these jokers in Midland-Odessa are trying to get changed at this late date.
I’d run it east from Laurel instead of north, and run it closer to Rucker and through the southern part of Benning missing congestion around Montgomery and Columbus (extend 185 down to meet it for folks wanting to to Columbus/Auburn). That would push it closer to Albany and then run it south of Macon (closer to Materials Command at Warner Robins AFB) and tie into 16 east of Macon.
