Ya know, something really must be wrong with me today. Every single time someone has April Fools'ed me today, I fell for it. This thread was no exception, and I didn't get the joke until I reached the "I-11 in Reno" part, which, at that point, was pretty much the entire post.     


But to add my own contributions to the fun: 

- Atlanta Outer Beltway construction is going to start in late April 2018

- Interstate 9 has been designated over CA 99

- Interstate 2 has been completed to Laredo, Texas
