I’m not a road-tripper (prefer air travel); but for those who drive/RV, this new interstate (connecting military installations in five states) offers an additional travel option for SEC games.

I’m halfway convinced this whole thing was done so people don’t have to drive through Jackson. If so, probably a sound decision. Big wins for Gulfport, laurel and meridian

It looks to me like South Louisiana cities (Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, New Orleans) are the biggest loser in this new highway. The Port of Gulfport is going to explode with growth to the detriment of the Port of New Orleans.
And Shreveport and Monroe are equally as screwed because a lot of that traffic will be rerouted onto I-14 and off I-10/12 and I-20. Cassidy royally screwed Baton Rouge here because it ensures that the Miss River bridge over Baton rouge isn't going to be expanded anytime soon now.

Hwy 30 leaving college station would just be renamed I-14?

That's great and all.
But we will all be dead by the time the interstate is completed. Just look at how slow I-69 has come along.

Should have some stretches in west TX with no speed limit.

On things like this is there a minimum miles that need to be done per year?
So it doesn’t take 4 decades and is outdated by the time it’s finished?

Approved my arse. Wait til every environmental and citizen group has filed their lawsuits before you say any new highway route has been approved. It will be a good 8-10 years before they build it. Part will be geotechnical investigation, concepts, public meetings etc. Good thing Eisenhower started the Interstate System because we would never get it built today.

The portion that would go through Alabama is essentially US 80.
It is probably the least traveled US highway in the entire state.
Would be a useless interstate for most Alabamians

So is TX going to use their share of the money to complete I-10 through Orange?
Even Louisiana would have finished that shite by now.

For anyone that wishes OP included a map of the new Interstate.

Getting traffic off I-10 through LA would be a blessing
I guess it wouldn't need a new bridge over Miss River, that would be the major cost.

Connecting military bases throughout the Deep South via one brand new interstate. It's almost like they're prepping for something.

Imagine all the different car flags one could see in that corridor on a given weekend!
