We have received text from H.R. 10241: I–47 Future Interstate Act of 2026. This bill was received on 2026-09-03, and currently has 5 cosponsors.
Here is a short summary of the bill:
This bill would add a new federally recognized highway corridor and give it an Interstate number.
What route would be affected
The bill focuses on U.S. Route 287 , from State Highway 87 in Port Arthur, Texas , to U.S. Route 89 in Choteau, Montana . It would treat this corridor as a high-priority transportation route under existing federal law.
What the bill changes
The bill would amend a 1991 transportation law so that this U.S. Route 287 corridor is:
- added to the list of federally designated high-priority corridors, and
- formally designated as Interstate Route I–47 .
What this means in practice
In plain terms, the bill would create the legal basis for a long highway corridor to be recognized as part of the Interstate system, at least for federal planning and designation purposes. That kind of designation can affect future transportation planning, routing priorities, and potentially funding or development decisions tied to the corridor.
The bill itself does not lay out construction plans, set a timeline, or say that the road will immediately be rebuilt to Interstate standards. It mainly changes the federal designation of the route.
