The difference between 'essentially complete' and 'declared complete' is stuff like 'bypass around small town in Idaho': https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2949

US 59 north out of Houston may be upgraded to an Interstate soon. The overall plan is called the NAFTA Superhighway because it would be a great connection between the populated parts Mexico and Canada.

I guess they'll have to get a new number if that happens. Interstate 59 already exists, running from Louisiana to Georgia. I'm kind of curious what that process looks like.

Google maps already has it as Interstate 69 through Houston, and transitioning back to a state route north and south of the city. The actual numbering system is very simple, and explained at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Fn_30AD7Pk
