TRANSPORATION OPPORTUNITIES & SERVICES

Transportation Opportunities & Services

Marshall serves as a traffic axis because it is ideally located at the intersection of Interstate 20, U.S Highway 59, U.S. Highway 80, and State Highways 43 and 154.

Marshall is also located in the Interstate Corridor that will connect trade traffic from Mexico with markets in the entire northeastern United States. U.S. Highway 59 actually connects with the international market of Mexico via Laredo, Texas and all points in south Texas, and through the Port of Houston.
