U.S. Sen. John Cornyn is introducing new legislation that would designate a major U.S. highway as “Interstate 47,” or “Trump Interstate."
Cornyn announced Monday that he introduced the I-47 Future Interstate Act, which would designate U.S. Highway 287 as a future interstate stretching from Port Arthur, Texas, to Choteau, Montana.
According to Cornyn’s office, the route would also be known as “Trump Interstate.”
“Texas is Trump Country, and this bill cements that legacy by designating nearly 1,800 miles of open road from Texas’ Gulf Coast to the edge of the U.S.-Canadian border as I-47 to forever be remembered as Trump Interstate,” Cornyn said.
“By upgrading one of our nation’s longest highways to a future interstate, this legislation will increase economic growth and improve safety, all while honoring the most consequential president of our lifetime,” Cornyn said.
Sen. Cynthia Lummis, a Republican from Wyoming, is co-sponsoring the legislation.
According to Cornyn’s office, U.S. Highway 287 is the second-longest three-digit highway in the United States and serves as a major trucking corridor.
The proposed interstate would run from Port Arthur through Texas and north to Montana.
Cornyn’s office said the legislation would help advance freight movement, promote economic growth, improve safety in both rural and urban areas, reduce congestion and increase federal matching funds for interstate projects.
The release also cited a July 2025 feasibility study by the Texas Department of Transportation that examined the impact of upgrading US-287 to interstate standards.

John REALLY would like it named the Trump Impeachment Hgwy. He is an internationalist traitor.
He’s trying way too hard.
Cornholio is really desperate and that’s getting worse by the hour! Can’t wait to kick him out of the Senate!!
NOW Cornyn wants Trump’s support!!!!
A pandering politician with long TDS.
....a clearer example of lips placed on buttocks could not be found....
What a Poser!
Cornyn and Lindsey Graham love DJT when facing election.
The problem is it might work.
Pleeeeeeazze endorse me! Pretty please? It’s really pitiful to watch.
such an obvious pander
i am against naming things after living persons
should always be in memorial
Simp.... waste of time and money. Guaranteed to be overturned the minute he is gone.
The sad thing, is that it actually has a chance of working with Trump to get Cornyn the endorsement.
What a kiss arse. Must be running way behind.
He deserves to lose the seat that should never have been his.
Pennsylvania has a “Joe Biden Highway” near Scranton.
and ONLY when he’s running for re-election. I’m against naming or renaming government structures for living beings. Wait until his death (no jokes) if you’re going to do it at all.
World Class Pandering. What RINO’s will do to get re-elected
I just got called by a pollster yesterday asking about the upcoming run-off primary. Told him I’m voting for Paxton. Coryn is probably worried about the result of his internal polling and is pulling out all the stops.
Pandering for an endorsement.
