I have not found a map showing that plan, or associated pipelines. Do you have any related links to help me learn?
I am sorry - I don't have time right now... I am pretty buried at my bench...
As an aside, take a look at the FAST Act that passed '14/15, establishing the coastal corridor and inter-mountain corridor as high-priority interstate projects - Oddly following the same routes as phases of the NAU superhighway system. IIRC, it also established the trans-Texas corridor, which you would know more about than I would. It is the inter-mountain that effects me directly.
The Midwest corridor runs, as I said, from Texas right up through KC, and on to the Bakken region in NoDak, running north into Canada right about where the shale oil pipe is going. It crosses an E/W highway in Canada that runs all the way from above Minnesota to the AK interior - That'd be the northernmost loop that ties the western corridors together.
Part of that deal, around the time of the trouble at Standing Rock... One of the things that was kinda crazy that came out then was the right-of-way. The pipe is on a permanent 50ft easement, but there's another 150-200 ft of right of way- And forgive me, but I don't recall if it is that much total, or that much on both sides of the pipe- But the right of way seemed to be excessive to me at the time. Certainly enough for 3 lanes, and during construction of a theoretical road, more right of way will be established (as always happens)... That gets us to southern SoDak/Iowa...
At the time, there was a pipe either going in, or being replaced in eastern OK heading down to TX... but that's where I dropped it... I don't know what happened from there. But again with the wide right of way...
But it was it's terminus in Nederland (or the name came up in that), because the same place was where the fight was back in the day with Bush over this NAU stuff. There was another pipe involved there... Etco/Etsco(?) that runs up the east side of the Mississippi - Again, right where the next corridor was supposed to go. From there, the southern corridor and Ohio corridor run e-w to feed the east coast.
That same pipe is now converted to crude, and is the shipping route for Bakken oil, from the end of that pipe in So. Illinois runnng down to Nederland Tx.
But what I am getting at wrt the midwest corridor, if that new/repaired line in eastern OK gets right of way down into TX, and they already have right of way through Canada down into Southern SoDak/Iowa, all they really have left to do is cobble something up in Kansas and it's all there.
They never quit when we knocked this crap down back when Dubya was in the house... They just went to a long game, and have been piecing it together all the way along...
