I-14 in Texas
The Ghostbuster:
Will the TX 9/Business 190 interchange be modified so traffic doesn’t have to exit to remain on US 190/future Interstate 14?

I don't even think they have it on the drawing board right now to upgrade the Copperas Cove super 2
The bridge that takes the traffic onto the super 2 going westbound is 2 lanes wide all they are going to do is add a second lane in the median to enable two thru lanes on to the bypass when it comes time to twin the super 2 and I don't even think I14 would be extended west of the current terminus until the at grade crossing of Bus 190 and 190 on the west side of Copperas cove is upgraded as part of a twinning the super 2.

Actually...............Its only two miles and its from the west side of Copperas Cove heading west but Txdot wants to add a couple of overpasses and divided hwy. Now it makes no sense to do this and not touch the 190/2657 stoplight interchange and expand the Super two while they are at it. But then again, its TxDot.

So what you want is a "correct" stay right to remain on US-190. IE veer right to turn left. What you are saying is to spend $20M for a standardized geometry when a 100% functional option is there already.
I went and looked closer. This intersection has a correct through staying left but the I-14 WB to US-190 WB (which May become I-14) uses a single lane exit ramp. If the traffic demand is high enough, this should be upgraded to full mainlanes regardless of the numbering. If it doesn't.....
This is one of the reasons that Texas tends to NOT associate IH numbers in freeway upgrades.
