| TEXAS- NEW MEXICO- ARIZONA (Re-Submission) |
U. S. 180 Extension of a U. S. Route |
(Texas Section) This routing will begin at the western terminus of U. S. 180 in El Paso, thence northwesterly over U. S. Routes 80 and 85, a distance of 7.8 miles, thence northerly over Interstate 10, a distance of 11.2 miles to the Texas-New Mexico State line northeast of Anthony, a total distance of 19 miles. (New Mexico Section) Beginning at the New Mexico-Texas State liine northeast of Anthony, Texas, thence northerly over U. S. 80 and 85 to Las Cruces, thence west over U. S. Routes 70 and 80 to Deming, thence northwest over U. S. 260 (to be eliminated if U. S. 180 extension is approved) to the New Mexico-Arizona State line west of Luma, a distance of 250 miles. |
| The request for this extension has been denied again for the reason that considerable mileage on the proposed route is still below the standards required in accordance with Item 14 of the "Purpose and Policy in the Establishment and Development of the U. S. Numbered Highways," adopted January 1, 1959. If and when the substandard sections are improved to the required standards, a resubmission by the States involved will be considered. | ||
