On my half-dozen annual drives to and from Denver to OKC, I would dearly love to see a significantly improved highway. As it is, it takes 10-11 hours to drive but 1.25 hours to fly. That port-to-plains idea would be a great improvement but someone needs to make New Mexico increase the speed limit on that portion from CLayton to Raton. Its desolate, it's wide-open, and they make you drive 60 mph on great 2 lane with shoulders or 65 on divided roadway. The excuse is construction but the construction is virtually all separate from the main highway. Its a nice dream but doubtful because no one has any money.
