They really do build things bigger in Texas! (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=533&e=5&u=/ap/20041229/ap_on_re_us/texas_superhighways)

The state of Texas is seeking to build a 4,000-mile megahighway network between Oklahoma and Mexico, called the Trans-Texas Corridor. The highway will be up to a quarter-mile across, and include separate lanes for passenger vehicles, large trucks, freight railways, high-speed commuter railways, and infrastructure for utilities including water lines, oil and gas pipelines, electricity, and broadband. In a recent press release, the governor of Texas said it will 'forever change the way we build roads.'

I'm just having a hard time imagining this. It's just.. just.. wow.

This isn't a new idea, it was first proposed at least a couple of years ago. Last I knew, they weren't planning to come all that close to the cities with them.

Mostly farmland - but the folks who own that land are not too happy.
