Future I-69 Corridor

 

That’s what the signs say.  Future I-69 Corridor.  We see them on the highway north of here.  There are two main north-south highways out of South Texas.  The puzzling part is that we see the signs on both of the roads north.  How can an interstate highway be two places at once?  Have they just not made up their minds yet?

 

I had to look it up.  Interstate-69 is being built across the U.S. as a trade-route from Canada to Mexico.  From the Canada border at Port Huron, Michigan south to the Mexico border in Texas.  The strange thing it does in South Texas is to split into three different roads serving three different border crossings at Laredo, Pharr and Brownsville.  Three different roads that are all Interstate-69!
