    Corridor 3 is the East-West Trans America Corridor commencing on the Atlantic Coast in the Hampton Roads area going westward across Virginia to the vicinity of Lynchburg, Virginia, continuing west to serve Roanoke and then to a West Virginia corridor centered around Beckley to Welch as part of the Coalfields Expressway described in section 1069(v), then to Williamson sharing a common corridor with the Interstate 73/74 Corridor (referred to in item 12 of the table contained in subsection (f)), then to a Kentucky Corridor centered on the cities of Pikeville, Jenkins, Hazard, London, and Somerset; then, generally following the Louie B. Nunn Parkway corridor from Somerset to Columbia, to Glasgow, to I-65; then to Bowling Green, Hopkinsville, Benton, and Paducah, into Illinois, and into Missouri and exiting western Missouri and moving westward across southern Kansas.

    The legislation does not specify any additional, specific routing for Corridor 3. The western routing along Interstate 40 was not the original plan for the Trans America Corridor. The original transcontinental Interstate 66 plan touted a six-lane freeway starting at Interstate 5 just west of Fresno and traveling east across the Sierra Nevada, Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Four Corners, and southern Colorado. From there, the Interstate 66 proposal mostly follows Corridor 3 through West Virginia. The next section describes the original Interstate 66 proposal.

History of the Transcontinental Interstate 66 Proposal

    The Interstate 66 East-West Trans America Freeway was an idea hatched by Wichita business people in the early 1990s as a means to bring more business to southern Kansas. They saw the business that Interstate 40 and Interstate 70 brought along their respective corridors, and they felt southern Kansas should have that kind of business too. Capitalizing on the fabled number "66," they determined that a new, coast-to-coast route would bring Kansas additional business. So the businessmen brought the idea to their politicians, and the politicians managed to get the idea listed as an ISTEA high priority corridor. Included with that congressional act was funding for a million dollar feasibility study.

    Interstate 66 was planned to begin just west of Fresno, California, from a junction with Interstate 5. It was possible that Interstate 66 could begin further west, perhaps in Monterey or the Bay Area, but that's just speculation. Interstate 66 would head east through Fresno into the Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park areas. Its alignment would probably be along California SR-180. Then Interstate 66 would enter Death Valley National Park on its way to Las Vegas, probably via SR-178 and Nevada SR-160. At Las Vegas, Interstate 66 would follow Interstate 15 to St. George, Utah, then it would loop back and forth across the Arizona-Utah and Colorado-New Mexico state lines through the several scenic areas and national parks along this corridor. Interstate 66 would then turn northward toward Pueblo and Colorado Springs, roughly following U.S. 160. Then Interstate 66 would probably follow either the routing of the newly defined U.S. 400 (U.S. 50, Kansas SR-154, U.S. 54, SR-96, etc.), the older U.S. 160, or somewhere in between through Colorado and Kansas.
