State Highway 47, or SH 47, runs from SH 21 in Bryan, Texas at Texas A&M University-Riverside southeastward approximately 7.1 miles (11.4 km) to FM 60 near Easterwood Airport and Texas A&M University Research Park. This highway was designated in 1987.
[edit] Future
The SH 47 corridor is expected to be an area of major growth in the 2010s due to its proximity to the growth of the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine.[2]
[edit] Previous routes
SH 47 was originally planned along a previous section of SH 1A from Daingerfield through Atlanta to Texarkana. In 1935, this classification was cancelled when the portion from Lindale to Texarkana was transferred to U.S. Highway 59 and the stretch from Daingerfield to Lindale transferred to SH 11.
