Texas DOT Announces I-27 Corridor Moving Toward 'Actual Delivery' Status
What happened
The Texas Department of Transportation is advancing projects for future Interstate Highway 27, which is moving into a phase of 'actual delivery.' TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams stated this at the Ports-to-Plains Alliance Annual Conference on September 10. The corridor is described as a working economic system connecting borders, West Texas, the Texas Panhandle, the Great Plains, Canada, and Mexico.

Why it matters
The development emphasizes the integrated economies of border locations like Ciudad Acuña and Del Rio as examples of the connections the corridor supports. The I-27 designation, which currently includes 124 miles of planned construction in Texas, has the potential to become a 963-mile long route.
The Ports-to-Plains Alliance is developing a corridor vision that extends through US states and toward Canadian markets.
