The environmental studies for I-49 north of Texarkana assume the existing Texas Loop (now I-369) will be extended northwest from I-30 (easiest way thru the residential areas) to the edge of the city, then back east to meet I-49 just west of the Arkansas Loop's end -- no TexAmericas Center shortcut, but a full-circle Loop via I-369, I-49 & AR/TX Loop 151.

However, the Executive Summary of the Texarkana to DeQueen US 71 and Texarkana Northern Loop FEIS, completed in September, 2001, does anticipate the possibility that the Texas I-69 Corridor evaluation (HPC 20) could result in a westerly relocation of US 59, which in turn would necessitate more environmental studies for the Texas segment of the Northern Loop (page 14/24 of pdf; page ES-13 of the document):



At least the FEIS (and resultant ROD) allowed Arkansas to build and open its section of the Northern Loop to traffic, with I-49 signage coming soon to that section.

So, basically, some people kind of jumped the gun in sticking those I-369 shields on the loop highway in Texarkana when I-369 stands a good chance of not going there.

Get your photos now before it's too late ;)
