Approximately 25 miles of the system have been designated as an Interstate 14 in Texas from I-35 in Belton to US 190E in Copperas Cove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FAST Act created the Central Texas Corridor that would run near Highway 190 from Interstate 10 near Iraan to State Highway (SH) 63 in Jasper, connecting Louisiana to Texas at the Highway 63 Sabine River Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1120\" height=\"1071\" src=\"https:\/\/hvhappens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-264\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Federal legislation authorized a loop encircling the Bryan\/College Station area as an interstate highway to be numbered I-214.

This may not be a bad thing for Walker County property owners who could reap millions of dollars with increased land value.
