US Highway 67 stretches among more than a dozen counties, but with reference to our energy impacted region, the highway is seeing over $110 million in improvements underway in Irion, Reagan, Upton, Crane, Reeves, and Pecos Counties. The focus of this southern Permian Basin east-west corridor is to widen the 2-lane highway to a “Super 2” freeway which creates alternating passing lanes throughout the length of the road.
US 67 Corridor Study
In late 2017, TXDOT began a study of the US 67 corridor from just south of I-10 to the border at Presidio, Texas. While there had been some previous improvements related to passing lanes on portions of the roadway, there are still safety issues on the portion of the roadway between Presidio and Marfa.
The corridor plan addresses safety and operational improvements to facilitate border trade and commerce, as well as tourism. The corridor may become more significant to the energy industry in the future with a new natural gas pipeline installed along much of the route that exports natural gas to Mexico, and development of new wells in the Alpine High play.
The corridor study will be completed in 2019 and will include priority projects for consideration in various funding programs.
