The $13BN plan to fix Texas’ deadliest highway
Interstate 45 in Texas is one of the deadliest highways in the United States. It experiences regular fatal crashes, is prone to heavy flooding and is no longer a safe evacuation route during hurricanes. Authorities in Texas have decided enough is enough.
$13 billion dollars is being spent to reroute, expand and align sections of the highway through Houston but not everyone is happy. The work will tear through communities, flattening homes, businesses and places of worship.
