Project Overview

Interstate 69 is a planned 1,600-mile national highway serving the United States between the borders of Mexico and Canada. Eight states are involved in the project. In Texas, I-69 will be developed as part of the Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) master plan. The proposed I-69/TTC study area extends from Texarkana/Shreveport to Mexico (possibly the Rio Grande Valley or Laredo).

Environmental Studies and Maps
The environmental studies for I-69/TTC follow the stringent federal rules of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. A tiered NEPA approach is being utilized to study the project. Tier One will be used to narrow the project study area. Tier Two will determine needed modal improvement, final route alignments, as well as identify potential project impacts, costs, and mitigation measures. Learn how I-69/TTC has progressed so far, where we are in the environmental process, and what the next steps will be.

Primary Facilities
Some I-69/TTC facilities could be constructed upon completion of the Tier Two environmental studies and in response to a demonstrated transportation need. These facilities would serve as main I-69/TTC arteries, with potential connecting facilities playing a supporting role in traffic movement and access. Specific alignments will not be determined until Tier Two studies are complete; furthermore, these facilities have not yet been identified. Please view the Environmental Studies and Maps page for additional information on the two-tiered I-69/TTC environmental process.

Potential Connecting Facilities
Later this year, five Corridor Segment Advisory Committees will be formed to specifically provide input and advice to TxDOT regarding specific routes or components of the I-69/TTC program that would be needed for a particular corridor segment, and also what improvements are needed for existing transportation facilities. The corridor segment advisory committees will be appointed by local entities.
