Congressional High Priority Corridor Designation
|
|
Today, the River of Trade Corridor Coalition has made it a priority to achieve a Congressional High Priority Corridor designation for the entire River of Trade Corridor, including the western segment of the corridor from California, through Arizona and New Mexico, to Texas, as well the segments of the corridor that are currently undesignated.

The Congressional High Priority Corridor designation for the River of Trade Corridor reads, "In Texas, Interstate Route 20 from Interstate Route 35E in Dallas County, east to the intersection of Interstate Route 635, north to the intersection of Interstate Route 30, northeast through Texarkana to Little Rock, Arkansas, Interstate Route 40 northeast from Little Rock east to the proposed Interstate Route 69 corridor." The River of Trade Corridor Congressional Caucus, chaired by U.S. Representative Ralph Hall, provided their full support for this designation. In addition, U.S. Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson was incredibly supportive of the designation, and included it among her top priorities in the transportation bill. The High Priority Corridor designation also received support from Harris County Judge Robert Eckels, on behalf of the Alliance for I-69 Texas. The Alliance for I-69 Texas and the River of Trade Corridor Coalition have shown reciprocal support for each entity's goals and objectives.
