Amarillo traffic plan aims for eight lane expressway
State highway official DeWitt Greer told city commissioners a six to eight million dollar eight lane Amarillo expressway is feasible if the city cooperates. The plan would create a wide right of way along Highway 66 to relieve bottlenecks and channel through traffic via an express lane system with service roads, potentially feeding in from Canyon and Dulas highways and feeding out to Dallas routes.
