History

I-37 in San Antonio is designated the 'Adams Freeway', after World War II veteran Lucian Adams. Adams is a native of Port Arthur, and received the Medal of Honor for his service in France, along with the Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his gallantry during the Cassino Campaign.
Interstate 37 was also requested by the Illinois Department of Transportation for a road from Lincoln, Illinois north to Morton, Illinois in 1990. This was denied on December 7, 1990 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). On June 9, 1991, AASHTO approved Interstate 155 for the new route.^[4]
