Farm to Market Road 740 (FM 740), is a FM highway in the U.S. state of Texas. The road runs through more rural land while in Kaufman County; in Rockwall County, the road serves many residents that live on the eastshore of Lake Ray Hubbard.

The highway is notorious amongst locals for its many sharp turns and curves.

Route description

FM 740 starts at the Kaufman-Dallas county line between Seagoville and Forney. The road continues south as Malloy Bridge Road, which runs to I-45 in Wilmer. There is no signage marking the end of FM 740, much less a sign noting the county line. FM 740 runs northeast to I-20 in the easternmost part of Mesquite. FM 740 makes two right angle turns just north of I-20. The first is at FM 548, where northbound traffic must turn right to continue on FM 740 and southbound traffic must stop. The second is about a 1/4 mile northwest of FM 548 at County Road 202.

The highway enters Forney as South Bois d' Arc Street. Near the town square 740 runs a short distance with FM 688 (an old alignment of US 80) before turning north on Pinson Road. FM 740 intersects US 80 before turning left, running out of Forney.

Entering Rockwall County, the highway enters Heath. 740 turns right at FM 1140, where the latter runs closer to the shore of Lake Ray Hubbard. FM 740 enters Rockwall, intersecting I-30 before terminating at SH 205.

Future

FM 740 in Heath is currently being widened from 2 lanes to 4 lanes. The 1.5 mile expansion is between FM 549 and FM 1140.[1] The project was approved in 2012 with a budget of $12 million.[2][3]
