As envisioned, each route will include:

• separate lanes for passenger vehicles and large trucks
• freight railways
• high-speed commuter railways
• infrastructure for utilities including water lines, oil and gas pipelines, and transmission lines for electricity, broadband and other telecommunications services

We're in the I-69 study area, south of Houston.

They are telling us that the corridor will require a 1/4 mile+ wide swath of land. It will be a toll road built and maintained by a company in Spain.

Here's more info if you are interested:

There are several groups opposing this corridor. I've heard, but don't know for sure that the toll to drive from San Antonio to Laredo would be around $60.
