Well, you could probably save a few shipping bucks via boat on the first leg -- Toronto to Duluth.
Of course, that only works about three months out of the year.
Hey, be nice! Not everyone can run a website out of his bunker in Idaho!
This is how things are done behind our backs. See how I69 has been a part of history. LOL! Click on the pictures. They think we are dopes. I wonder when they will put up the tolls for Cintra?
They will be changing the signs of Hwy 59 and 77 from the Valley to 69.

Eisenhower sold us out!!!!
Follow the pork - Senator Paul Wellstone, D-MN, for example.
Why not I-69 right out of Sarnia (bridge at Port Huron, MI), all the way to Indiana?
Because that doesn't pick up the other Canadian border crossing at the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit.
That would be a straighter path if you just want to move stuff from Mexico to Canada and back.
Because that doesn't pick up the other Canadian border crossing at the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit.
Actually I just checked the text again and "18." runs from Port Huron to Indiana on I-69, bypassing Detroit. The map doesn't show this though.
"18. Corridor from Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, through Port Huron, Michigan, southwesterly along Interstate Route 69 through Indianapolis, Indiana, through Evansville, Indiana, Memphis, Tennessee, Mississippi,..."
In Michigan, the corridor shall be from Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, southwesterly along Interstate Route 94 to the Ambassador Bridge interchange in Detroit, Michigan.
Interesting. This map shows it skirting the west side of Dallas/Ft Worth. On this map, I will probably be able to throw rocks at it from my place, if I even still get to keep it.
The corridor may well encompass both I-35E and I-35W, it wasn’t quite clear in the wording of the document, so I just used I-35W.
The text or map is screwed up. Those trucks from Sarnia to Indiana and points south and west are going to use I-69 through farm country, not I-94 through congested Detroit.
Follow the pork, my friend, follow the pork. When did common sense have anything to do with the operations of government?
I’m not talking government, I’m talking truckers. How are they going to force the truckers to take the more congested route?
The route that went to KCMO/KANKAN was a sort of local thing of interest only to KCMOians.
There's nothing there folks!
Canada North of Duluth is the heart of the Great White North!
Alberta is far to the West and is readily accessible by an existing pipeline for everthing it produces of value.
Yup. Thunder Bay as the new New York City.
I’m also confused as to what the big problem is. This will designate existing roads for special recognition. So what?
Don’t laugh. The congressman from there is the Chairman of the Transportation Committee - Oberstar. He’s been waiting for 30 years to make the pork flow.
(BTW. I live there but I never voted for the guy in my life so don’t blame nme.
