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.

Trans-Texas Corridor PING!

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?

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.

Economic Costs: Based on the estimated construction cost of $31.4 million per mile, the 4,000-mile Texas sections of the NAFTA corridors will cost $125.5 billion, not including right-of-way and miscellaneous costs. Adding in right-of-way costs of $11.7–$38 billion and miscellaneous costs of $8–$20 billion, the estimated total outlay for the NAFTA corridors in Texas ranges from $145.2 billion to $183.5 billion. Cost estimates for the entire NAFTA corridor system have not been disclosed but could double those figures. Public return on this massive investment will be minimal because, even though the NAFTA corridors will be toll roads, most of the profits will flow to private entities under exclusive development agreements with the various state governments. This move to privatize highways contrasts sharply with the U.S. Interstate Highway System that was built with public money and benefited the nation at large.

Thirty-one million dollars a mile!!!!!!
