State Highway Loop 281 or Loop 281 is a Texas state highway loop around the city of Longview. It runs from I-20 / US 259 / SH 322 in a clockwise direction back to I-20 near Longview. It is also known as Tomlinson Parkway in northern Longview.
History
Loop 281 was previously designated on December 2, 1954 on a route from US 82 / US 287 northwest to US 281 in Wichita Falls. The route was redesignated on November 7, 1958 as Loop 165 (modern-day US 287 Bus. and SH 240) "to avoid confusion with US 281 by the traveling public." The current route was designated on March 22, 1960, but only from US 80 north, east, and south to I-20. On March 25, 1992, Loop 281 was extended south from US 80 to I-20, replacing part of FM 1845.[1]
