Don’t confuse Ron Paul with the socialist George Bush and his plans for the SPP.

There is no freeway from McAllen to Corpus Christy. You have to travel almost 300 miles north from the border before you travel a freeway. Interstate 83 runs east and west. It is 8 lane in most places.

The highways need an upgrade from the taxpayer not foreign corporations. The nice thing about traveling Texas 2 lane highways is that people pull over onto the shoulder of the road and let people pass. No other state is like this.

You apparently didn't read the FHWA planning document for Corridor 18. US-281 from McAllen will be converted to Interstate 69 Central.

In the Lower Rio Grande Valley, the Corridor shall- ... include United States Route 281 from the Rio Grande River to Interstate Route 37 and then to Victoria, Texas, via United States Route 59; [I-69 Central] ...

Are you talking about U.S. 83? I-83 runs north-south from Baltimore to Harrisburg.
