Spur 3 is a state highway spur in Corpus Christi, Texas. It provides access to Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi.[1]

Route description

Spur 3 begins at a junction with the SH 358 freeway. It travels north, first along Ennis Joslin Boulevard and then along Alameda Street. The route turns to the east at Ocean Drive. Signage indicating that state maintenance ends is present east of the Sand Dollar Boulevard entrance to TAMU-CC.[1][2]

History

The original route with the Loop 3 designation was established in 1939, as a loop of US 81 in New Braunfels. A portion of that route became part of SH 46 during that route's extension in 1960, and the remainder was deleted from the state highway system in 1971. The current routing of Spur 3 was designated in 1993.[1]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Corpus Christi, Nueces County.
