List of future Interstate Highways
Wikimedia list article
In the United States, future Interstate Highways include proposals to establish new mainline (one- and two-digit) routes to the Interstate Highway System. Included in this article are auxiliary Interstate Highways, designated by three-digit numbers, in varying stages of planning and construction, and the planned expansion of existing primary Interstate Highways.
Congressionally designated future Interstates
Several Congressional High Priority Corridors have been designated as future parts of the Interstate Highway System by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) in 1991 and amendments to Section 1105. By law, they will become interstates when built to Interstate standards and connected to other interstates.
Interstate 7 or 9
State Route 99 has been designated as a future Interstate Highway corridor between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento. The route would be designated as I-7 or I-9, remaining in line with the national numbering system. Differing proposals show the route ending in Stockton or Sacramento. Designation is contingent upon completion of the "Route 99 Corridor Enhancement Master Plan". Although scattered improvement projects have been completed, there is currently no timeline or funding for the completion of the plan.
Future Auxiliary Interstate Highways
Interstate 195 (Washington D.C.)
The current Interstate 695 will be eliminated and be replaced with an extension of Interstate 395.

Why this record matters
The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2442368. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1991 and 1105.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
