LINK

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.

The proposed Interstate 14 would run from west Texas across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.

A map showing a route for the concept being promoted by its supporters shows it running through the central portions of all five states.

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.

It will really be something for our grandchildren to enjoy, won't it? Because you and I won't live to see this.

Houston is pretty competent and about 30 miles of 290 has been fricked for the better part of a decade.

I can only imagine how the talentless hillbillies of this project will end up doing with a few hundred miles.

This gets thrown around every 6 months or so. I'm excited to drive on it in 2050 when we have flying cars.

I think that's what I-22 was initially supposed to do, and run across the Valley and through Huntsville. Obviously, that didn't happen.

I-22? That's been done for a while. They routed the very end of the Memphis section on their new outer beltway (I-269 through Collierville) until that last few miles through the city are finished.

It's a strategic defense plan to connect the southern forts.

It terminates in Birmingham on I-65 a few miles north of the 20/59 interchange.
