Deport illegal aliens, bet that would help more.

That would help keep some of the flow-through east-west traffic away from I-10 and the north side of downtown, but what I’d really like to see is for the Grand Parkway loop to be completed. Just getting past the city from where I am (near Rosenberg) is a PITA.

It would add slightly to the costs, but they should bypass Huntsville and the other cities along the route. Much like the original autobahns did.

While they are planning roads, a northwest to southeast route is needed - perhaps Port of Jacksonville to Mt. Vernon, Ill, bypassing all of the major cities - go between Atlanta and Birmingham, and Memphis and Nashville, etc.

Nothing can alleviate Houston’s traffic issues. It is an unplanned, unrestrained, unregulated mess. A hodge podge without any real nucleus, land locked by uninhabitable swamp,, the bay and the gulf. The only way to go is North or West.

Happy to be out of that mess.

' Georgia to west Texas. Under their proposal, I-14 would create an alternate east-west highway that would be located midway between I-10 and I-20.'

That would help to finish off the South. That would certainly help to bring in more people down here. It wouldn't take long to turn the entire place blue.

What they really need is a high speed rail line or a light rail system that’s completely useless for dealing with traffic congestion.

What is the military utility of this proposed Interstate highway? I didn’t see that in the article.

If another interstate solved traffic problems, California would be a driver’s paradise...................

Deport all of Houston’s illegals and it’ll be a wasteland with zero traffic problems.

In central Texas, a portion of U.S. 190 near Killeen has been designated as Interstate 14.

This is a great interstate. I've been taking it lately from Temple over to Lampasses over to points west.

On the subject of new interstates, I-11 between Vegas an Phoenix is slowly coming together, but a long way to go. The section bypassing Boulder City is done and is great. Now just complete the couple of hundred miles to Phoenix and bypassing Wickenburg and it’s roundabouts....

Below is one of the tenative proposed maps for Interstate 14.

It should be noted that the basic proposal has been around for a while. However outside of Texas getting some existing Freeway designated by AASHTO and the FHWA. There has been little movement and will be probably be none for decades.

Texas priority is finishing the I-69 corridors by upgrading US 59 to interstate standards moving North and South of Houston and completing the upgrade of US 77 to I-69E to provide and Interstate quality connection from Brownsville to Corpus Christie.

Louisiana is concentrating on completing I-49 both in Shreveport and plugging numerous non-interstate quality gaps in US 90 from New Orleans to Lafayette.

Mississippi just finished I-269 and only has piecemeal projects related to I-69 on the drawing board.

Neither Alabama or Georgia are doing anything at all about I-14.

I10 through Houston is a miserable drive. Anything would be an improvement.
