Farm to Market Road 1564 (FM 1564) is a farm to market road located south of Greenville in unincorporated Hunt County, Texas.[1]

Route description

FM 1564 begins at an intersection with FM 36, approximately 1.75 mi (2.82 km) southwest of that route's junction IH 30.[2] The route travels eastward to an intersection with SH 34, with which it shares a brief concurrency of 0.7 mi (1.1 km). After separating from SH 34 and continuing to the east, the route crosses FM 2101, which provides access to Majors Airport to the north.[3] FM 1564 ends at a junction with US 69.[1]

FM 1564 is two lanes for its entire length, and primarily serves agricultural traffic, but it is also used by recreational traffic bound for the northern shore of Lake Tawakoni.

History

FM 1564 was first designated in 1949, along what is now its eastern section, from SH 34 to US 69 south of the community of Dixon. The westward extension from SH 34 to FM 36 was approved in 1967.[1]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Hunt County.
