What it does
The bill would designate United States Route 287, running from State Highway 87 in Port Arthur, Texas, to U.S. Route 89 in Choteau, Montana, as Interstate Route I–47 by amending the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. It adds this corridor as a high-priority route and formally assigns it the Interstate I–47 designation. The change affects federal transportation planning and funding eligibility for the specified route across Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana.
