Once complete, the freeway will begin in Brownsville and head northward before terminating near Victoria as both I-69W and I-69E merge into I-69 toward Houston. For its entire length, I-69E runs concurrently with U.S. Highway 77 (US 77). The route currently exists in two segments: a {{convert|56.894|mi|km|adj=on}} segment from its southern terminus in Brownsville to the Willacy–Kenedy county line and a shorter {{convert|24.106|mi|km|adj=on}} segment south of Corpus Christi. The route has one auxiliary Interstate route, I-169 in Brownsville.
Route description
File:I-37 - US 77 interchange.jpg
I-69E begins at an at-grade intersection just north of the Veterans International Bridge at Los Tomates in Brownsville. I-69E has a concurrency with US 77. I-69E intersects the eastern terminus of I-2 in Harlingen. After leaving Brownsville–Matamoros, I-69E temporarily ends and becomes US 77, a four-lane expressway. Another piece of I-69E picks up in Kingsville. I-69E passes through Bishop, Driscoll, and Robstown before terminating at a freeway-to-freeway style interchange with I-37 west of Corpus Christi.
History
A stated goal of the Texas Department of Transportation's (TxDOT) I-69 initiative is that "existing suitable freeway sections of the proposed system be designated as I-69 as soon as possible".{{cite web |publisher= Texas Department of Transportation |url= http://www.txdot.gov/drivenbytexans/whats_next.htm |title= What's Next for I-69 Texas? |access-date= July 17, 2013 |archive-date= August 21, 2011 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110821071400/https://www.txdot.gov/drivenbytexans/whats_next.htm |url-status= live }} A bill was introduced and passed by the House of Representatives that allows Interstate quality sections of US 59, US 77, and US 281 to be signed as I-69 regardless of whether or not they connected to other Interstate Highways.
TxDOT submitted an application to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) to designate {{Convert|75|mi|km}} of US 59 in Greater Houston and {{Convert|8|mi|km|spell=in}} of US 77 near Corpus Christi as I-69, as these sections are already built to Interstate Highway standards and connect to other Interstate Highways. In August 2011, TxDOT received approval from the FHWA for a {{Convert|6|mi|km|adj=on|spell=in}} segment of US 77 between I-37 and State Highway 44 (SH 44) near Corpus Christi and was approved by AASHTO in October 2011.{{cite press release |publisher= Texas Department of Transportation |url= http://www.txdot.gov/news/028-2011.htm |title= Portion of US 77 Approved as Part of U.S. Interstate System |access-date= July 17, 2013 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20111102204738/http://txdot.gov/drivenbytexans/whats_next.htm |archive-date= November 2, 2011 }} Officials held a ceremony on December 5, 2011, to unveil I-69 signs on the Robstown–Corpus Christi section.{{cite news |url= http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/articles/december-133075-first-going.html |title= First I-69 signs going up on U.S. 77 in December |last= Clark |first= Steve |work= Brownsville Herald |date= October 30, 2011 |access-date= July 17, 2013 |archive-date= April 5, 2012 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120405131922/http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/articles/december-133075-first-going.html |url-status= dead }}
The FHWA approved the designation for the eastern Lower Rio Grande Valley segment on May 24, 2013, and the Texas Transportation Commission followed suit on May 30, 2013.{{cite news |first= Mark |last= Nino |url= http://www.kveo.com/news/texas-transportation-commission-approves-interstate-69-system |title= Texas Transportation Commission Approves Interstate 69 System |location= Brownsville, TX |publisher= KVEO-TV |date= May 31, 2013 |access-date= July 17, 2013 |archive-date= October 19, 2013 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131019184845/http://www.kveo.com/news/texas-transportation-commission-approves-interstate-69-system |url-status= dead }} This action finalized the designations of not only I-69E but also of the sections of I-69C from Pharr north to the end of the US 281 freeway facility near Edinburg, and also I-2, which is a {{convert|46.8|mi|km|adj=on}} freeway that runs from Peñitas to Harlingen and connects with I-69C and I-69E.{{cite press release |author= Staff |url= http://www.i69texasalliance.com/NewsUpdates/update5.30.13RGV1.html |publisher= Alliance for I-69 Texas |title= Interstate 69 Comes to Texarkana and the Valley |date= May 30, 2013 |access-date= July 17, 2013 |archive-date= October 19, 2013 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131019193855/http://www.i69texasalliance.com/NewsUpdates/update5.30.13RGV1.html |url-status= live }} These approvals added over {{convert|100|mi|km}} to the Interstate Highway System in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.{{cite news |first= Steve |last= Taylor |date= May 30, 2013 |title= Over 100 Miles of Valley Highways To Be Designated Interstate |url= http://www.riograndeguardian.com/bordernews_story.asp?story_no=22 |work= Rio Grande Guardian |location= McAllen, TX |access-date= July 17, 2013 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131018221502/http://www.riograndeguardian.com/bordernews_story.asp?story_no=22 |archive-date= October 18, 2013 |url-status= dead }} The signage was installed in mid-2013.{{cite news |first= Jared |last= Janes |title= Valley's I-69 signage the latest stop along superhighway dream |url= http://www.themonitor.com/news/local/article_1bb15a3c-edb6-11e2-96fd-001a4bcf6878.html |work= The Monitor |date= July 15, 2013 |access-date= July 17, 2013}}
Currently, the cluster consisting of the recently designated portions of I-69E, I-69C, and I-2 in the Lower Rio Grande Valley is not connected to the national Interstate network. This situation is slated to be remedied by scheduled projects to complete I-69E along US 77 between Raymondville and Robstown the southern end of the previously signed portion of the I-69 corridor connecting with I-37 west of Corpus Christi. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval for the upgrade of the US 77 alignment to Interstate standards, including bypasses of the towns along the {{convert|91|mi|km|adj=on}} routing, was obtained through a finding of no significant impact statement issued on July 13, 2012.{{cite press release |author= Staff |publisher= Alliance for I-69 Texas |title= Agency Gives US 77 Upgrades Final Environmental Clearance |url= http://www.i69texasalliance.com/NewsUpdates/update7.13.12%20us77.html |date= July 13, 2012 |access-date= July 17, 2013 |archive-date= April 4, 2020 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200404223703/http://www.i69texasalliance.com/NewsUpdates/update7.13.12%20us77.html |url-status= live }}
During its 2019 Annual Meeting in October 2019, AASHTO approved an extension of the I-69E designation along US 77 from Farm to Market Road 892 (FM 892) to FM 2826 in Nueces County. The {{Convert|3.3|mi|km|adj=on}} extension completes I-69E from I-37 in Calallen to the north end of the Driscoll Bypass. The northbound lanes of the Driscoll Bypass opened in 2021 while the southbound lanes opened on August 16, 2023.{{Cite web |date= August 16, 2023 |title=New US 77 mainlanes to open Wednesday around noon, TxDOT says |url=https://www.kiiitv.com/article/traffic/new-us-77-mainlanes-to-open/503-82d58daa-b6a8-425b-a63d-4459d0d77970 |access-date=2023-08-26 |website=kiiitv.com |language=en-US |archive-date=August 26, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230826212435/https://www.kiiitv.com/article/traffic/new-us-77-mainlanes-to-open/503-82d58daa-b6a8-425b-a63d-4459d0d77970 |url-status=live }} An additional bypass is also expected to be constructed around Rivera as well.{{cite news |last1=Clark |first1=Steve |title=Expansion of US 77-I69E making progress |url=https://myrgv.com/uncategorized/2019/01/06/expansion-of-us-77-i69e-making-progress/ |access-date=27 April 2023 |work=MyRGV.com |date=6 January 2019 |archive-date=April 27, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230427184333/https://myrgv.com/uncategorized/2019/01/06/expansion-of-us-77-i69e-making-progress/ |url-status=live }} This project received $177.7 million in funding in August 2023 and construction will begin 2027.{{cite news |title=TxDOT's Refugio Relief Route receives $463.7 million from state |url=https://www.stexasnews.com/refugio_county_press/txdots-refugio-relief-route-receives-463-7-million-from-state/article_2eb3796c-3d47-11ee-90c4-db983f3bf9bc.html |access-date=14 November 2023 |work=STexasNews.com |date=17 August 2023 |language=en |archive-date=November 14, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231114171347/https://www.stexasnews.com/refugio_county_press/txdots-refugio-relief-route-receives-463-7-million-from-state/article_2eb3796c-3d47-11ee-90c4-db983f3bf9bc.html |url-status=live }} Most of the projects between Raymondville and Rivera are not funded but still planned.{{cite web |title=I-69 System Status Tabloids |url=https://ftp.txdot.gov/pub/txdot/get-involved/statewide/interstate-69-system/110723-i-69-tabloid.pdf |website=txdot.com |publisher=TXDOT |access-date=14 November 2023 |archive-date=November 14, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231114171345/https://ftp.txdot.gov/pub/txdot/get-involved/statewide/interstate-69-system/110723-i-69-tabloid.pdf |url-status=live }} A project to make upgrades near Norias had an official groundbreaking on July 31, 2024; this project is expected to be completed in three to four years.{{cite news |last1=Reyes |first1=Erika De Los |title=TxDOT to break ground on $300M US 77 construction |url=https://myrgv.com/local-news/2024/07/27/txdot-to-break-ground-on-300m-us-77-construction/ |access-date=13 August 2024 |work=MyRGV.com |date=27 July 2024}}
The section of I-69E north of Corpus Christi to Victoria is still in the early stages of development. Currently, plans have been released for I-69E to be built through Odem and then bypass Sinton; further north, it will be built through Woodsboro and then bypass Refugio. The Odem project has received partial funding while the others have received full funding. No other upgrade plans have been released. TxDOT held open houses in Refugio in late October 2023 in order to receive public feedback on the project.{{cite news |last1=Balderrama |first1=Victoria |title=I-69 overpass project concerns those along US 77 |url=https://www.kristv.com/news/i-69-overpass-project-concerns-those-along-us-77 |access-date=21 October 2023 |work=KRIS 6 News Corpus Christi |date=20 October 2023 |language=en |archive-date=October 22, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231022022638/https://www.kristv.com/news/i-69-overpass-project-concerns-those-along-us-77 |url-status=live }}
