The proposed High Desert Corridor freeway would link the /*Antelope Valley*/ (14) Freeway to Interstate 15 at Victorville.
The corridor would replace long stretches of routes 18 and 138. The two-lane roads have high fatality rates.
The new freeway's median might also be used for a high-speed rail corridor for trains linking Southern California and /*Las Vegas*/.
The public hearings will be held Monday night in Lancaster and Tuesday in Palmdale.
