Texas I-69 project on track from Mexico to Canada
The Texas portion of Interstate 69 to link Mexico with Canada faces funding and environmental reviews but is expected to materialize within a decade. State officials estimate a $7.4 million federal environmental study grant next year, with billions in future funding needed for design and construction, aiming for completion by 2012 or sooner. The project would repurpose US routes 59 77 and 281 toward an east to southeast Texas corridor feeding Houston and the Rio Grande Valley.
