Planned Canada to Mexico I-69[edit]

Having recently visited USA for the first time and seen the "future corridor" signs to the southwest of Houston, Texas I have been surfing the net and found out about the planned Canada to Mexico I-69. I feel this should be mentioned in the introduction to this article, not just under "Notes" and "External Links". --PeterR 16:58, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Temporary I-164 Designation in S. Indiana[edit]

Below is an excerpt of my e-mail reply explaining the possibility of the southernmost segment of I-69 (SIU 3) being temporarily signed as I-164.

The southernmost segment of I-69 in Indiana possibly being signed temporarily as I-164 is speculation at this time. Logically, it makes sense because the new section will not yet connect to any other portions of I-69, but it will start at the I-164 terminus and continue north for 13 miles. My thought is that once the remaining sections further north are built, tying into the existing I-69 at Indianapolis, the entire route will then be signed as I-69.

Signing a proposed Interstate route temporarily as a 3-digit spur of another Interstate is actually quite common, since the FHWA and AASHTO try to avoid having many discontinuous segments with the same 2-digit route number, which would be the case with I-69.

A similar approach is being taken with the Interstate 49 extension north to Kansas City and south to New Orleans: One section of I-49 west of New Orleans has been temporarily designated as I-310, and another segment in Arkansas has the temporary designation of I-540. Like I-164 in Indiana, I-310 and I-540 will be re-designated as I-49 once additional segments connecting it to the existing I-49 are built. --Wxstorm

Yellow segment[edit]

Can someone explain the yellow segment of the route near Brownsville, Texas? NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 18:55, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This segment is the future alignment of I-169. Not sure why it's yellow. Maybe because it's tolled?

I-94[edit]

Why is some of I-94 highlighted on the map? It doesn't make sense. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 01:29, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That segment of I-94 is part of High Priority Corridor 18, as stated in the key.

But aren't those "National Highway System Corridor" route in Blue? and not in the light purple? NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 05:33, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I-369[edit]

Is it possible to edit this map to also include the proposed portion of I-369 between Carthage and Tenaha? NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 01:24, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
