State Highway 82 or SH 82 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas that runs 13 miles (21 km) from the Louisiana border as a continuation of Louisiana Highway 82 to Port Arthur. This route was designated in 1975.
History
Pecos, Ward, and Winkler Counties
SH 82 was originally designated on August 21, 1923 on a route from the Monahans south to Ft. Stockton, with a planned extension south to Sanderson, replacing part of SH 17.[2] By 1928, SH 82 extended north to Kermit. On June 25, 1929, SH 82 extended north to the New Mexico Border.[3] The planned extension was transferred to newly designated U.S. Highway 285 (cosigned since 1935) on September 26, 1939. On February 27, 1958, the route was renumbered as SH 18, to coordinate with its intersection with New Mexico State Road 18.
Jefferson County
On January 29, 1975, SH 82 was designated over its current route in Jefferson County from SH 87 to Louisiana Highway 82. On January 7, 1987, the route was extended 2.1 miles (3.4 km) to SH 73 incorporating the former Texas State Highway Spur 214.
Major junctions
The entire route is in Jefferson County.
