Corridors of the Future

Corridors of the Future is a Bush / Cheney Federal Highway Administration program to select key interstate highway routes for massive expansion. These projects are related to the NAFTA Superhighway program, and several of the proposals would be similar to the Trans Texas Corridor highway design -- massive widening of interstate highways and/or new highway routes with parallel truck only lanes to facilitate huge increases in truck traffic between Mexico, the US and Canada.
