Revision as of 00:20, 5 March 2009
This is a list of Interstate Highways in Texas, all of which are owned and maintained by the U.S. state of Texas.[1] The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is the state agency responsible for the day-to-day maintenance and operations of the Interstate Highways in Texas. The Interstate Highway System in Texas covers 3,233.4 miles (5,203.7 km)* and consists of nine primary routes, six auxiliary routes and the splitting of Interstate 35 (I-35) into two branches, I-35E and I-35W, that provide access to both Fort Worth and Dallas. The Interstate Highway with the longest segment in Texas is I-10 at 878.6 miles (1,414.0 km). The shortest Interstate Highway in the state is I-110 at 0.9 miles (1.4 km).
The construction of the Interstate Highway System in Texas actually began well before these routes were designated as Interstate Highways. A 50-mile (80 km) stretch of the Gulf Freeway (I-45) between Galveston and Houston was opened in 1951, eight years before it was designated I-45. It was also the first urban expressway in Texas. In 1962, 43 miles (69 km) of I-35 opened in Bexar County, the first section of Interstate Highway to open from county line to county line in a large metropolitan area.[2] Portions of I-10 west of San Antonio took much longer to complete due to the vast open spaces and lack of nearby labor. The majority of the construction of this section of I-10 occurred in the 1970s and 1980s and was complete by the early 1990s. The section east of San Antonio was completed 20 years earlier in 1972.[3] The opening of a 6-mile (10 km) section of I-27 in 1992 completed the Interstate Highway System in Texas.[4]
Planning is ongoing for a proposed extension of I-69 southward from its current terminus in Indiana through Texas to the United States-Mexico border.[5] If built, I-69 will extend about 650 miles (1,050 km) across Texas, from the Louisiana state line in the Texarkana-Shreveport area to South Texas.[6]
Primary Interstate Highways
Highway | Location | Length | Description | Date established | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
I-10 | El Paso, Hudspeth, Jeff Davis, Reeves, Pecos, Crockett, Sutton, Kimble, Kerr, Gillespie, Kendall, Bexar, Guadalupe, Caldwell, Gonzales, Fayette, Colorado, Austin, Waller, Harris, Chambers, Jefferson and Orange counties | 878.6 miles (1,414.0 km) | I-10 enters the state from New Mexico northwest of El Paso, passing through rural West Texas on its way to San Antonio, where it has junctions with I-35 and I-37. It continues east to Houston, where it has a junction with I-45, then enters Louisiana near Orange. I-10 is the state's longest Interstate Highway as well as its southernmost east-west Interstate Highway.[7] | 1959 | [8] |
I-20 | Reeves, Ward, Crane, Ector, Midland, Martin, Howard, Mitchell, Nolan, Taylor, Callahan, Eastland, Erath, Palo Pinto, Parker, Tarrant, Dallas, Kaufman, Van Zandt, Smith, Gregg and Harrison counties | 636.1 miles (1,023.7 km) | I-20 begins at exit 186 on I-10 in West Texas and heads towards the northeast. The highway is a major east-west corridor through the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, the Dallas and Fort Worth combined metropolitan areas, where it has junctions with I-30, I-35W, I-35E and I-45. I-20 passes through East Texas before it enters Louisiana east of Marshall.[9] | 1959 | [10] |
I-27 | Lubbock, Hale, Swisher, Randall and Potter counties | 124.1 miles (199.8 km) | I-27 begins at Loop 289 in southern Lubbock and heads north in the Texas Panhandle. It ends at exit 70 on I-40 in Amarillo.[11] | 1969 | [12] |
I-30 | Parker, Tarrant, Dallas, Rockwall, Hunt, Hopkins, Franklin, Titus, Morris and Bowie counties | 223.7 miles (360.1 km) | I-30 begins at exit 421 on I-20 in the western portions of the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, the Dallas and Fort Worth combined metropolitan areas. As it heads east through the Metroplex, it has junctions with I-35W, I-35E and I-45. After leaving the Metroplex, the highway heads towards the east-northeast and enters Arkansas at Texarkana.[13] | 1959 | [14] |
I-35 | Webb, La Salle, Frio, Medina, Atascosa, Bexar, Guadalupe, Comal, Hays, Travis, Williamson, Bell, Falls, McLennan, Hill, Denton and Cooke counties | 407.2 miles (655.3 km) | I-35 begins at the United States-Mexico border in Laredo and heads north towards San Antonio. In San Antonio, it intersects I-10 and I-37 before heading north to Austin, the state capital. North of Hillsboro, the highway splits into two branches, I-35W which heads to Fort Worth and I-35E that heads to Dallas. The two branches reunite in Denton and I-35 heads north, entering Oklahoma north of Gainesville.[15][16] | 1959 | [17] |
I-35E | Hill, Ellis, Dallas and Denton counties | 96.8 miles (155.7 km) | I-35E is the eastern and less direct branch of I-35 from Hillsboro to Denton; it passes through Dallas, where it intersects I-20 and I-30.[18] | 1959 | [19] |
I-35W | Hill, Johnson, Tarrant and Denton counties | 85.2 miles (137.1 km) | I-35W is the western and more direct branch of I-35 from Hillsboro to Denton; it passes through Fort Worth, where it intersects I-20 and I-30.[20] | 1959 | [21] |
I-37 | Nueces, San Patricio, Live Oak, Atascosa and Bexar counties | 143.0 miles (230.1 km) | I-37 begins in Corpus Christi near the Gulf Coast and heads towards the north-northwest. It intersects I-10 before it ends at exit 158 on I-35 in San Antonio.[22] | 1959 | [23] |
I-40 | Deaf Smith, Oldham, Potter, Carson, Gray, Donley and Wheeler counties | 177.1 miles (285.0 km) | I-40 crosses the Texas Panhandle from New Mexico to Oklahoma, and has a junction with I-27 in Amarillo. The alignment of I-40 is the approximate alignment of the historic U.S. Highway 66 (US 66).[24] | 1959 | [25] |
I-44 | Wichita County | 14.8 miles (23.8 km) | I-44 begins in Wichita Falls and heads north to Oklahoma.[26] | 1982 | [27] |
I-45 | Galveston, Harris, Montgomery, Walker, Madison, Leon, Freestone, Navarro, Ellis and Dallas counties | 284.9 miles (458.5 km) | I-45 begins in Galveston at the Gulf Coast and heads north intersecting I-10 in Houston. It passes through East Texas and intersects I-20 before ending at exit 46 on I-30 in Dallas.[28] | 1959 | [29] |
