Ever hear of Fort Hood, the largest military post in the United States?
IH-14 is intended to connect military posts in the south central part of the country to make deployment faster...
We live 1/2 mile from the current IH-14. In order to go east we must first drive 3 hours to get to the closest approach to either IH-10 or IH-20. That same three hours would put us well into Louisiana if IH-14 was in place...
BTW, when President Eisenhower proposed the Interstate system, the major purpose was to enhance military deployment...
