Future Interstate Highway

On Tuesday, March 15, 2022, President Biden signed the FY 2022 Omnibus Appropriations legislation. This legislation included the designation of the entire Ports-to-Plains Corridor in Texas and New Mexico as a Future Interstate Highway. The Alliance and its partners continue efforts to obtain highway construction funding for both the Future Interstate and expansion to four-lanes along the entire corridor.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) continues to move forward in developing and implementation strategy and plan to develop the Future Interstate Highway.

YOUR INPUT IS IMPORTANT. TxDOT needs to hear from all the segments along the Texas Corridor.
