I-95: The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has signed an agreement with the transportation departments of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia, committing those states to reconstruct and expand a 1,054 mile stretch of I-95 as part of the Corridors of the Future traffic reduction program.

Michigan: The DOT has issued final environmental approval for the planning and construction of the new Detroit River International Crossing between Michigan and Ontario, Canada. The new crossing, planned to include a border inspection plaza and a seven-mile interchange connecting it to I-75, is expected to become active in 2013.

Washington: The DOT and the State of Washington have signed an agreement to implement the Cascade Gateway Project, a plan to use Intelligent Transportation Systems to alert truck drivers ahead of time to the wait they can expect at the US-Canada border. The project forms part of the DOT’s Transportation Border Congestion Relief Program.

California: Also as part of the Transportation Border Congestion Relief Program, the DOT has signed an agreement with California to build a new border crossing in San Diego. Wait times for truckers at the current Ota Mesay crossing can be up to 4 hours, according to the DOT, so a new crossing is to be constructed 2 miles to the east. The crossing will include a four-lane, 2.7-mile highway (SR 11) connecting it to the state highway system. To the south, the crossing will connect to the Tijuana Rosarito Corridor and the Tijuana-Tecate and Tijuana-Ensenada toll roads.
