[edit] Route description
FM 1288 begins north of Newport, at an intersection with SH 59.[2] It travels to the north through the farming areas of southeastern Clay County, through the community of Vashti, to Bellevue and US 287, the main thoroughfare in the region. After a brief concurrency with US 287, the route continues north about 4.5 mi (7.2 km) before state maintenance ends.[1] The roadway continues as Worsham Road under county jurisdiction before it eventually becomes FM 1134.[3]
FM 1288 is a two-lane route for its entire length, except for the section that is concurrent with US 287 in Bellevue.
[edit] History
FM 1288 was first designated in neighboring Montague County in 1949; the route traveled westward from US 287 near Bowie to the Clay County line. The section from Bellevue to Vashti was originally designated FM 174; after the designation of FM 1288 was extended in 1953 to Vashti and then southward to SH 59, the state effectively swapped the designations of the two segments, eliminating the 90-degree bend in FM 174 and removing FM 1288 from Montague County.[4] Two northward extensions of the state-maintained section, in 1959 and 1960, brought the route to its current length.[1]
[edit] Major intersections
The entire route is in Clay County.
