The South's $12 Billion Future Interstate - Will I-49 Ever be Finished?

Oct 27, 2025

The South's $12 Billion Future Interstate - Will I-49 Ever be Finished? The idea of a modern new interstate has become very divisive, with some states continuing with the idea that new highways will improve traffic in their states and are worth the money and effort, with some halting any future plans due to environmental concerns and public backlash. Places like North Carolina & Texas have no problems with the idea of building new highways, and have new interstates in the works. Something that I’ve found is that usually places in the south are more onboard with new interstates, maybe due to political reasons, OR maybe due to the growth being experienced in these states, putting them behind in infrastructure. Today we move back to the south to talk about another future interstate project, this time I-49. A planned route that would run from the lower-midwest into the deep south. Connecting a more central route in the country and greatly helping three states.
