Follow Same Road To Mexico
AUSTIN AP Travelers to Mexico City can pick Route 57 south of San Antonio and follow it to the Mexican capital under a new highway designation. The state Highway Commission said the route numbering committee of the American Association of State Highway Officials approved linking U.S. 57 with Mexico’s federal Highway 57 across North Central Texas. U.S. 380 will extend from west of Old Glory in Stonewall County east along Texas 24 to connect with I-30 near Greenville, joining at the Rio Grande near Ogle Pass. The route will run northeast over U.S. 277 to Texas 57, then continue through Zavala County to a junction with I-35 near Moore in Fort Worth, creating a single east-west state route bypassing Dallas-Fort Worth traffic. The commission also announced a single new designation in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
