The northern terminus of the proposed route is the Texas/Oklahoma border at I-35. The corridor then heads across U.S. 75 to southeast to U.S. 380, where it curves southwest across I-30, I-20 and I-45, and continues southwest to Temple. At this point it follows I-35 to the southern terminus at Laredo.

So....I haven't lived in Texas for ten years. Why can't I-35 just be expanded.

Is the TTC going to be a parallel road?

We already have an ugly mess here in Texas, this is just more of the same. How did we get to this place? (Rhetorical question.)

I've lived here for 31 years. They've been working on some stretch of I-35 between Dallas and Denton ever since I rolled into town and it still can't handle the traffic it needs to.

I'll be surprised if this thing ever gets built.

It is being built to further international trade. Pipelines, railroad tracks, everything is planned for it.

Is this project different from the conversion of US 281 to I-69? That highway, I thought, was supposed to run from McAllen north to San Antonio.

In short, Carla A. Hills is at the white-hot core of the global elite, and one of its key operatives in globalizing the world.

Having said this, one can understand how the North American SuperCorridor Coalition, Inc. (NASCO) subsequently sprung up and declared itself to be "NAFTA's trade supercorridor" from Mexico to Canada. Note in the accompanying map from NASCO's web site that the supercorridor begins in Mexico and ends in Canada, with a U.S. route starting at Laredo, Texas and proceeding to Kansas City, MO. According to NASCO's web site,

"The NASCO Corridor encompasses Interstate Highways 35, 29 and 94, and the significant connectors to those highways in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Corridor directly impacts the continental trade flow of North America. Membership includes public and private sector entities along the Corridor in Canada, the United States and Mexico."

In this case, basically, yes. It will be roughly parallel to I-35.

Yes, it is. This project will be a toll road running roughly parallel to I-35.

And the same for I-45 south of Dallas down towards Corsicana... The available money/budget allows for a six to eight mile stretch at a time.

this is not about the road. this is about getting more mexicans into the USA. the internationalists idea is to create a north american superstate. the way they want to do that is to swamp the usa with mexicans.

even when you consider the idea of a north american superstate--it turns out to be an immensly bad idea for american citizens.

all we get are immense liabilities for nothing.

It basically works out to be a raid on fort knox.
