re: Any updates on the proposed I-14 from Austin, TX to South Carolina

I don't remember where I read it from, but some article was stating that it was a strategic military decision. Having an interstate run through all of the major southern Army posts, connects to the I-10 around El Paso (Fort Bliss), and run to the east coast does make sense from a military standpoint.

What a colossal waste and a boondoggle to boot. Spend a gazilllion dollars on a new interstate highway when old roads and bridges are falling apart, there are multiple interstates already connecting those areas, and many more people would be better served by intelligent transit options.
