Supporters of a proposed new interstate that would connect communities in five southern states say it would reduce poverty and improve the lives of residents along the route.


quote:

It would run from Interstate 10 in west Texas through the Killeen and College Station areas and cross through central Louisiana in the Alexandria area. In Mississippi, it would run through the Natchez, Laurel and Meridian areas. In Alabama, the conceptual route includes the communities of Selma, Montgomery and Phenix City. In Georgia, it would connect Columbus with Macon and Augusta.



Lol no thanks

Does this go to Germany?



Just kidding. I would like to see I-14 built, but I'd rather see a north-south freeway connecting New Orleans to Kansas City through Baton Rouge, Natchez, Monroe, Little Rock, and Springfield.

I would like to see I-49 connect Lafayette to NOLA. It took forever for I-49 from Shreveport to Arkansas to be completed.

Why not?

And this isn't, not sure why the business report found the need to talk about it yesterday. They have been talking about this for at least the last 10 years, in an effort to connect forts and bases.

A turnpike/highway parallel to I-10/I-12 would be nice. Especially if they can limit the amount of exits to keep commuter traffic off of it. It would be instrumental in getting freight movements off I-10 and I-12.

They put this in the article like these two jerk offs came up with the idea. I-14’s been proposed since 2005.

With all those forts being connected prepare to see a lot of Panzers and Leichttraktors on it.

Imagine dealing with NIMBY’s from 5 states at once.

This thing would be massively expensive and not finished while any of us are still alive.

The truck drivers will still blame those "damn four wheelers" when they flip over on perfectly level and straight sections and shut down the highway for 5 hours.

Is anyone knocking on doors in Alexandria and Nachez looking for real estate?

The fact that this goes through areas that are economically depressed (plus Texas) is probably an advantage.
