City council endorses I-27 extension through San Angelo
SAN ANGELO – The journey of 500 miles is one step closer after the San Angelo city council passed a unanimous vote Tuesday in favor of an interstate running through town.
The council's endorse is the first step in the lengthy processes of getting an interstate extended to the Concho Valley.
"San Angelo is one the largest cities in the nation without an interstate," Rep. Mike Conaway said in a 2018 Standard-Times article.
This could change with the extension of Interstate 27.

If completed, I-27 would run from Laredo to Denver. The interstate would run through Midland/Odessa to connect to the existing completed segment running between Lubbock and Amarillo. It would also relieve traffic on I-35.
