The exact route for the cross-Texas corridor has not yet been
drawn up, though it will probably be somewhere within a 10-mile-wide swath
running parallel to Interstate 35. Whatever course it takes, it is clear many
farmers and property owners will lose their land, though they will be
compensated by the state. Construction could begin by 2010.


The opposition comes in several forms: Some see it as an assault on private
property rights; some object to putting the project in foreign hands (it will be
built and operated by a U.S.-Spanish consortium); and some see the project as an
affront to open government because part of the contract with Cintra-Zachry is
secret.
