When US 59 was widened and rebuilt over a decade ago in the Houston area, it was done to interstate highway standards. That came in handy when the 1-69 NAFTA superhighway corridor in Texas was routed along much of US 59 which transits east Texas and becomes a major freeway just northeast of Houston.
There is another 6.2 mile (10 km) section of I-69 that has already been signed along US 77 from I-37 in Corpus Christi to Robstown.
The 40 mile (63 km) section of 59 (AKA the Eastex and Southwest Freeways) that runs in a north-south direction from Loop 610 past the east side of downtown, Minute Maid Park, the George R. Brown Convention Center and the southern half of the Montrose gayborhood to Rosenberg, TX in Fort Bend County is awaiting approval to be signed..
But it's just a matter of time before we see the I-69 sign across the entire Houston area
