Deadline Approaching for Input on San Angelo I-27 Corridor Route

SAN ANGELO – The Texas Department of Transportation is looking to the future with an implementation strategy and plan for the Ports-to-Plains System in Texas which includes the planned I-27 through San Angelo. The Ports-to-Plains System in Texas is expected to be a 963-mile corridor that will connect four interstates, 24 state highways and 17 U.S. highways to enhance rural connectivity across the state. The Ports-to-Plains corridor will be designated at Interstate 27 and run from Eagle Pass to Del Rio through Sonora to San Angelo then onto Big Spring and Lubbock.   The new system will support a growing population, the economic centers of West and South Texas, facilitate the movement of goods, international trade and key industries supporting national defense in the area. The purpose of the implementation strategy and plan is to identify short-, mid-, and long-term improvements that upgrade the corridor to interstate standards.   TxDOT is receiving public input on the Ports-to-Plains System.  Ports-to-Plains Alliance requests that Texans provide input for this implementation strategy.
