Click on this link for a Google Map showing the route of the "High Priority Corridor" number 18, "Route 69," from Sarnia, Ontario to Mexico at the Port of Brownsville, Texas, as described in the US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration's NHS High Priority Corridors Description planning document.
Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
The CANAMEX Corridor states have committed over $3.8 billion for future highway capacity improvements for the corridor, mostly in urban areas. This programmed or planned investment along the corridor is estimated to be $2.27 billion in Arizona, $368 million in Nevada, $600 million in Utah, $341 million in Idaho, and $234 million in Montana. Many of the planned projects require significant funding outside of resources presently available to state agencies.
Are you talking about U.S. 83? I-83 runs north-south from Baltimore to Harrisburg.
So instead of a "Bridge to Nowhere," it's a "Freeway to Nowhere," eh?

If you're going to hand-draw a map, why are you littering Google with it instead of posting it on your refrigerator with a magnet, where it belongs?

Note: Some corridors are defined in detail, some more generally. The most inclusive corridor concept consistent with statutory language has been used for this listing.
Beginning with the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), corridors have been designated in Federal transportation legislation as high priority corridors on the National Highway System (NHS) for inclusion in the 163,000-mile approved NHS as specific routes or general corridors. The ISTEA designated 21 corridors. Subsequent legislation added additional corridors and by the end of 2005, there were over 80 such corridors (including corridors that are subsumed or partly subsumed in other high priority corridors.) Some of the corridors are entirely within a single State such as Urban Highway Corridor along M-59 in Michigan or the Birmingham, Alabama Northern Beltline. Other corridors are multi-State such as the East-West Transamerica Corridor from Virginia through Kansas or the I-73/74 North-South Corridor from South Carolina through Michigan. Some corridors are along highways that are already essentially completed and carrying traffic such as Economic Lifeline Corridor along I-15 and I-40 in California, Arizona, and Nevada. Other corridors are generally along the path of anticipated future highways such as the corridor from Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, to the Lower Rio Grande Valley between Texas and Mexico. Finally, some of these corridors are described in detail in legislation, such as the the Dalton Highway from Deadhorse, Alaska to Fairbanks, Alaska. Others are broadly defined such as the Everett-Tacoma FAST [Freight Action Strategy for Everett-Seattle-Tacoma] Corridor in Washington State and some corridors are defined by reference to other legislation such as the Georgia Developmental Highway System Corridors identified in section 32-4-22 of the Official Code of Georgia, Annotated.
You are right. It is U.S.83. It is better than most interstates as if has feeder roads on each side. Most U.S. highways don’t have feeder roads and few entrances and exits. I always thought it was an interstate as there is an old 2 lane U.S. 83 about 5 miles south running parallel.
Most people here think of it as an interstate.
Actually, it is an expressway. I just looked it up. It will be I 69 when Cintra takes it over. Paid for by the American taxpayer. It is already 8 lanes in places. Traffic is getting heavy on it probably due to the Mexican trucks.
Well those would make wonderful invasion routes that’s for damned sure.
Most of it follows highways that are already 4 lanes wide...although there are some controversial sections (particularly through Indiana and through Texas, but the Texas part is more due to the TTC egos than anything...upgrading to an Interstate there is easy)
State Highway 61 (mostly 2 lanes) is the primary route to the border from there. Traffic volumes are not terribly high there, and any I-35 extension would be more due to regional demand than NAFTA traffic.
BTTT
Who said they haven't been, except you? What's been said is that existing roads will be substantially widened, requiring eminent domain seizures to accommodate this widening.
Building upon existing roads is also how they continue to try to avoid informing citizens exactly their intentions, as they "piece meal" their infrastructure plans and never let onto how they are connected to other, intra and interstate roads/highways.
But, you already knew that.
There were also some Nativists in Southern Indiana who did not wish to have any more Outsiders visit the area than was necessary.
In the end the Leftwingtards and Nativists lost and the highway will be built between Evansville and Indianapolis. It already exists between Indianapolis and Michigan.
OMG! Were too late! These roads have already been built!
But, for the most part, they haven't been tolled yet. Follow the revenue....
OMG!!! Roads connected to other roads, we're doomed.
There was a 10 year exhausting battle just to extend I 35 one mile in Duluth. Any attempt to drive it up the shore would invite civil disobedience.
I think it would be politically easier to upgrade 53 to International Falls (wich is already on the pork parade).
I35(E) to Dallas from San Antonio hasn’t gone a day since I was a little boy without major sections being under construction. Now they’re working on I20 and I30 around Dallas.
Wonder why they continue to have construction after all these yrs? I suspect there has been a long term plan towards toll roads.
