TxDOT will work through August 2012 to resign the Eastex Freeway from IH-610 (North Loop Freeway) to Cleveland, TX as IH-69. By the end of 2012 all of US-59 from Cleveland, TX south to Rosenberg, TX will be signed at IH-69 as the state moves forward connecting hundreds of segments of highways to create Texas' newest interstate highway!

The highway going from Beaumont to Tyler is numbered 69, will they be renaming that to avoid confusion?

no, that is not an Interstate. there are states with multiple roads with the same name. In fact in Texas there are numerous highways numbered 6.

Besides, the highway from Beaumont is far less travelled, don't think there will be much confusion

It looks like they've been working on that the last few weekends.

Cool! Will the name East Tex Freeway still stick? I always get so confused when I hear traffic reports, they talk so fast that I can't process the names quickly enough. I wish they'd use "IH10, Hwy 290" etc instead of the long names.
