How long until the signs start getting stolen?
Colorado had a highway with the same number going west out of Durango in the SW corner of the state in the early 2000's. Signs kept getting stolen. Number change soon afterwards. It'll happen here, too. :} Mark From: bgillegi...@gmail.com [mailto:bgillegi...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Gill Edigar Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2013 6:58 AM To: David Cc: Cavers Texas Subject: Re: [Texascavers] Interstate 69 It's supposed to go to the Rio Grande Valley, not Laredo--well, maybe a branch to Laredo.

The last time I was south of Houston on Hwy. 59, the signs still read "Future I-69" I am not aware of any ongoing highway construction anywhere along this route. I have not been to Laredo in a year, but I bet very soon, you will see signage or new roads related to Interstate 69. David Locklear Ref: http://www.i69texasalliance.com/news.html
