That run along the northern border of the Central-west US will take a lot of pressure off that area and should see prices drop down to a range more in line with the rest of the country. That part of the project would get my vote for some stimulus funds.
If you will note I said "Central-west". If you look at your own link you would see that it does not cover SD,KS, or OK at all, nor most of NB(have to zoom in before it will show you).
Edit: Most of Texas is not covered either (again you have to zoom in before it will show you)
