All you need to do is connect Hw 80 in Alabama with I-20 and you’re all set. Why Killeen, TX?
Exactly
Turn old 80.....Bloody Alley between York and Montgomery into a nice limited access four lane
His great idea ends at Fort Hood, Texas.
Because Fort Hood.
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...

Because he mentioned military, and Fort Hood is Killeen, TX.
Ft. Hood is located next to Killeen, TX; thus a faster way to get from Ft. Hood, TX, to Ft. Benning, GA? I wonder how near Ft. Polk, LA, is to the proposed route?
Killeen-Ft. Hood=The Armpit of Texas.
(Meaning Killeen MINUS Ft. Hood = The Armpit of Texas.)
I type from experience.
This proposal is not exactly new. I don’t remember if Killeen, TX was the terminus of the old proposal or not, but I-14 was supposed to be a “trail of history” regarding the 14th Amendment. The only town I remember it serving was Selma, AL.
