[edit] Route description
FM 313 begins at an intersection with SH 4 north of the Brownsville/South Padre Island International Airport in Brownsville, Cameron County, heading north on North Minnesota Avenue, a five-lane road with a center left-turn lane. The road heads through residential neighborhoods with some fields and businesses. FM 313 passes between fields to the west and woods to the east before passing more development and reaching its northern terminus at an intersection with SH 48.[1][2][3]
[edit] History
FM 313 was originally designated in 1945 between the towns of La Rue and New York in Henderson County. In 1947 it was extended another 10 miles (16 km) northward to Brownsboro. The next year the "313" designation was cancelled and the route was combined with FM 314.[1] In 1951, that section became FM 607.[4]
In 1951 it was redesignated on its current location from SH 48 to SH 4 along Minnesota Avenue. In 1995 it was redesignated Urban Road 313.[1]
[edit] Major intersections
The entire route is in Brownsville, Cameron County.
