U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) issued the following statement after the Texas Transportation Commission voted to approve adding new highway segments to Interstate 69:
"I'm pleased to hear that I-69 will be expanded with new highway segments, and I'd like to thank the Texas Transportation Commission, the Federal Highway Administration, and South Texas elected officials and community leaders for their work in making this a reality.
"With Texas ranked as one of the best states in job growth, these types of innovations are critical for making sure Texas continues to be the best place to work and live. I look forward to taking advantage of these expanded roadways during my travels in South Texas."
