High Priority Corridors
new and upgraded interstate highways

Corridors specified by ISTEA (1991), TEA-21 (1998) and SAFETEA-LU (2005) transportation laws

the High Priority Corridors map is from the US Federal Highway Administration website at

www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/national_highway_system/high_priority_corridors/

The numbers correspond to the "Corridor" designations in the law, they are not route numbers.

I am unaware of any US "environmental group" that dares mention the "priority corridors" in the 1991, 1995, 1998 and 2005 surface transportation laws, although there are pro-highway expansion efforts that promote this list. These "corridors" are only some of the highways under development. The High Priority list includes those specified in the appropriating laws to be Congressional priorities.

Some of these new corridors are planned to be called interstate highways. Some will be built to interstate highway design (such as the Intercounty Connector in Maryland) but are not going to be formally called an Interstate, even though they are limited access expressways. There are irrelevant bureaucratic reasons for the nomenclature (whether to call a superhighway an "interstate" or not). Some of the other corridors are widening of existing interstates. Corridor 22 is a freight train upgrade from ports in the Los Angeles area (to facilitate increase import of cheap crap from Asian sweatshops).

 

"Beginning with the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), corridors have been designated in Federal transportation legislation as high priority corridors on the National Highway System (NHS) for inclusion in the 163,000-mile approved NHS as specific routes or general corridors. The ISTEA designated 21 corridors. Subsequent legislation added additional corridors and by the end of 2005, there were over 80 such corridors (including corridors that are subsumed or partly subsumed in other high priority corridors.) Some of the corridors are entirely within a single State such as Urban Highway Corridor along M-59 in Michigan or the Birmingham, Alabama Northern Beltline. Other corridors are multi-State such as the East-West Transamerica Corridor from Virginia through Kansas or the I-73/74 North-South Corridor from South Carolina through Michigan. Some corridors are along highways that are already essentially completed and carrying traffic such as Economic Lifeline Corridor along I-15 and I-40 in California, Arizona, and Nevada. Other corridors are generally along the path of anticipated future highways such as the corridor from Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, to the Lower Rio Grande Valley between Texas and Mexico. Finally, some of these corridors are described in detail in legislation, such as the the Dalton Highway from Deadhorse, Alaska to Fairbanks, Alaska. Others are broadly defined such as the Everett-Tacoma FAST [Freight Action Strategy for Everett-Seattle-Tacoma] Corridor in Washington State and some corridors are defined by reference to other legislation such as the Georgia Developmental Highway System Corridors identified in section 32-4-22 of the Official Code of Georgia, Annotated."

Editorial Notes:

Statutory numbering of future Interstate routes [in brackets] inserted from Section 1105(e)(5) of the ISTEA, as amended.

Corridor 5 southern terminus is Georgetown, South Carolina, according to P.L. 105-178 Section 1211(i)(1) amendments of detailed descriptions for I-73 and I-74 in paragraph (5)(B)(iii).

Corridor 35 partially overlaps a portion of Corridor 30 in the State of Washington.

Corridor 38 excludes some statutory language from PL 106-554 and PL 17-259 that did not become effective because the Texas Transportation Commission designated the corridor in Texas from Laredo to Dumas on June 28, 2001. The Commission designation essentially followed the PL 106-554 and PL 107-259 language that included a dual alignment between Lamesa and Sterling City.

Corridor 40 overlaps a portion of Corridor 17 in Virginia and North Carolina.

Corridor 42 overlaps a portion of Corridor 11 in Mississippi.

Corridor 45 overlaps Corridor 10 in Mississippi and Alabama.

Corridor 70 overlaps Corridor 16 and adds a loop through San Bernadino and Riverside.
