SEC. ___. SONORAN CORRIDOR INTERSTATE DEVELOPMENT.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds that the designation of the Sonoran Corridor Interstate connecting Interstate 19 to Interstate 10 south of the Tucson International Airport as a future part of the Interstate System would--

“(81) State Route 410, the Sonoran Corridor connecting Interstate 19 to Interstate 10 south of the Tucson International Airport.”.

(c) Future Parts of Interstate System.--Section 1105(e)(5)(A) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (105 Stat. 2033; 119 Stat. 1213) is amended in the first sentence by striking “and subsection (c)(57)” and inserting “subsection (c)(57), and subsection (c)(81)”.
