Yes, which has hardly any stops in between. Then to go from Meridian to Selma, and even on to Montgomery - there is nothing

There’s always Union Town and Demopolis! And the mega-metropolis of Cuba

Haven’t been through Union Town in years, but you’d almost have to slow down to 10 under to avoid the speed trap

The consumers of interstates are not entirely personal passenger vehicles. There are more stakeholders in this than just regular folks driving our F-150s and Hondas.

This has an obvious defense utility because it is a straight-shot highway connecting the several major installations. I'd argue that this isn't even the primary stakeholder in this deal.

I think the real primary stakeholder is industrialists and commercial freight. Commercial freight is always in need of high-speed highways to move between more than just the primary major cities in the region. Industrial interests want freight access to their manufacturing parks built in the middle of nowhere where the cheap land and labor is located.
