It was one of the first 'highways' in Texas, and is named for Harry Hines in honor of his work helping to get roads paved in this part of the state. Harry Hines served on the Texas Highway Commission from February 15, 1935, to April 11, 1941, and for the first two years as its chairman according to the records at the Texas Department of Transportation. [2]

Harry Hines Boulevard forms the main part of the route taken by the Kennedy motorcade to Parkland Memorial Hospital immediately after the assassination shooting in November 1963. It is home to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. Today, the Harry Hines area is home to a wholesale district filled with wholesale warehouses.


Harry Hines is also well known for its Korean Cuisine, as the Asian Trade District is located along the street.

Loop 354 was designated on September 19, 1961, from Interstate 35E (I-35E) to Saner Avenue and I-35E in Downtown Dallas. The highway traversed old sections of U.S. Route 67 (US 67), US 77, and US 80, and was signed as US 67 Business (US 67 Bus.), US 77 Bus., and US 80 Bus., according to which one it was the old route of. On June 25, 1991, the section of Loop 354 from Saner Avenue to Loop 12 was cancelled and removed from the state highway system, as that section of Loop 354, as well as Loop 260, were given to the city of Dallas. This section is now Harry Hines Boulevard, Cedar Springs Road, Field Street, Spur 366/Broom Street/McKinney Avenue, Lamar Street, Elm Street/Commerce Street, Houston Street/Market Street, Jefferson Street Viaduct, Marsalis Jefferson, and Zang Boulevard.

U.S. Route 80 or U.S. Highway 80 (US 80) is a major east–west United States Numbered Highway in the Southern United States, much of which was once part of the early auto trail known as the Dixie Overland Highway. As the "0" in the route number indicates, it was originally a cross-country route, from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. Its original western terminus was at Historic US 101 in San Diego, California. However, the entire segment west of Dallas, Texas, has been decommissioned in favor of various Interstate Highways and state highways. Currently, the highway's western terminus is at an interchange with Interstate 30 (I-30) on the Dallas–Mesquite city line. Its eastern terminus is in Tybee Island, Georgia near the Atlantic Ocean. Between Jonesville, Texas and Kewanee, Mississippi, US 80 runs parallel to or concurrently with Interstate 20. It also currently runs through Dallas, Texas; Shreveport, Louisiana; Jackson, Mississippi; Montgomery, Alabama; Columbus, Georgia; Macon, Georgia; and Savannah, Georgia.

Loop 12 is a state highway that runs mostly within the city limits of Dallas, Texas. The western segment of the loop is named after General Walton Walker, who served and died in South Korea. During the 1950s and 1960s, Loop 12 was the outer beltway in the Dallas area, having since been supplanted by Interstate 635 (I-635), which is itself being supplanted by the President George Bush Turnpike.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Business routes of Interstate 35</span>

Interstate business routes are roads connecting a central or commercial district of a city or town with an Interstate bypass. These roads typically follow along local streets often along a former U.S. Route or state highway that had been replaced by an Interstate.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Business routes of U.S. Route 83 in Texas</span>

There are currently three business routes of U.S. Route 83 in Texas that are designated and maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The business routes in the US state of Texas are traditionally short spurs or loops that connect the main route, in this case, U.S. Route 83 (US 83), to the center or commercial district of a city. The routes commonly follow the course of a decommissioned state highway, or the old course of the main route. Business routes are signed with the traditional US 83 highway shield, and with a small "business plate" placed above the marker. TxDOT regards business routes as official highways, and is responsible for the maintenance of the route.
