The Trans-Texas Corridor plan outlines a new vision for transportation in Texas. This proposed multi-use, statewide network of transportation routes will make driving safer, send hazardous cargo around populated areas, and sustain and enhance economic development.

Keeping abreast of the Trans-Texas Corridor goings-on. One "factoid" claims that two-thirds of Texans surveyed support paying a toll for car-only lanes on the Trans-Texas Corridor.

If they put the speed limit at about 90, maybe I would pay.

I moved to San Antonio in 1968. There was already, well underway, a highway project to widen I-35, from two-lanes to three, between SA & Austin(70 miles).

Despite working non-stop, the project is still not complete.

I suspect they will complete just in time to replace it with this Trans Texas Corridor.

Well close.....

....Cintra and Zachry, simply put, believe that if they build it, the drivers will come. One possible incentive: The 2003 legislation that allowed the state to build the Trans-Texas Corridor, or let someone else build and operate it, allows speed limits on the road of up to 85 miles per hour.....
