Metro area officials are concerned about it.

The corridor is Governor Rick Perry's $184 billion plan to build megahighways around the state.

Todd Staples of Palestine chairs the Senate Committee on Transportation and Homeland Security.

Some farmers fear they'll lose chunks of land if highway splits their property.

Cities like Dallas and Waco are worried that new routes would take commerce away from them.
