State Highway 57 (SH 57) is a 1.474-mile (2.372 km) Texas state highway located in Tyler. [1]
SH 57 begins at an intersection with SH 155 in southwestern Tyler. The route travels to the east before ending at FM 2493. The roadway continues under local maintenance as Grande Boulevard. [1] [2] [3] SH 57 is four lanes with a center turn lane for its entire length. [4]
SH 57 was originally designated on August 21, 1923, on a route along the Gulf Coast from Rockport to Gregory, replacing part of SH 12, which was relocated to the west. [5] On March 19, 1928, the route was extended to east of Blessing. [6] On April 25, 1929, a section from Corpus Christi to Chapman Ranch was added. [7] On March 19, 1930, the section from Corpus Christi to Chapman Ranch became part of SH 96. On October 21, 1930, SH 57 was rerouted to end in Palacios. [8] On April 10, 1934, this route was cancelled, as it became part of SH 35. [9] [10]
The SH 57 designation was once again used beginning on August 5, 1966, on a route from Eagle Pass to near Moore, as a renumbering of SH 76 and to coincide with Mexican Federal Highway 57. This route would be renumbered US 57 on August 31, 1970. [1]
The current SH 57 was designated on February 21, 1994. [1] There are plans for the highway to be extended west to connect with Segment 3 of the under construction Loop 49.[ citation needed]
The entire route is in Tyler, Smith County.
