Texas I-69 Update
Jun 12th, 2008
The road variously known as I-69, the Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) and the NAFTA Superhighway will be built using existing roads as much as possible, with the construction of new roads and the seizure of private land only a last resort the I-69/TTC Project Office has announced. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) said that the original route, which would have built hundreds of miles of new road, is “no longer under consideration.”
TxDOT received 28,000 public comments, the vast majority opposing the construction of new highway.
Note that plans for the Trans-Texas Corridor are still proceeding. It is important to keep up (and escalate!) the opposition if this road is going to be stopped.
I-69 is a Corridor of the Future.
