Contents

Route description

SH 158 begins at an intersection with State Highway 302/Farm to Market Road 181 northwest of Odessa in unincorporated Ector County. The highway runs in a northeast–southwest direction until Philips Plant Road, turning into a more east–west direction. SH 158 enters the town of Goldsmith, intersecting with Farm to Market Road 866. The highway resumes its rural route and has an interchange with U.S. Route 385 north of Odessa. SH 158 turns into a southeast–northwest direction near the Ector–Midland county line. The highway shares a short overlap with State Highway 191 in west Midland. The overlap ends at an interchange with Loop 250, with SH 158 following Loop 250 until Interstate 20. The highway leaves Interstate 20 in southeast Midland, running southeast–northwest through rural Midland County. SH 158 runs through Glasscock County and Garden City before entering Sterling County. SH 158 shares an overlap with U. S. Route 87, with the two highways running through Sterling City together. SH 158 leaves US 87 at the eastern edge of Sterling City, running in a north–south direction before resuming an east–west direction. The highway runs through Coke County, serving the towns of Robert Lee and Bronte and later enters Runnels County. SH 158 ends at an intersection with U.S. Route 67/U.S. Route 83 in the town of Ballinger.

History

SH 158 was designated on March 19, 1930 on a route from Robert Lee to Bronte, replacing SH 70A. SH 158 was extended northeast to Abilene and west to Sterling City on January 20, 1932. [2] SH 158 was extended west to Garden City on April 23, 1932. [2] On July 15, 1935, the section from Robert Lee to Garden City was cancelled. [3] On December 21, 1935, a section from Garden City to Midland was added, creating a gap. [4] On February 11, 1937, the western section extended westward to Gardendale, replacing SH 216. [5] On August 1, 1938, the section from Garden City to Sterling City was restored, partially closing the gap. [6] On November 19, 1938, SH 158 was extended west to 7.5 miles northeast of Ector-Winkler County line, its current end. [7] On July 9, 1945, FM 652 was designated from SH 158 to SH 302. On September 26, 1945, FM 652 became part of SH 158.

On February 12, 1948, the section from Bronte to Abilene was transferred to U.S. Route 277. On August 19, 1948, SH 158 was extended southeast to Ballinger, replacing SH 109. [8] On September 26, 1963, SH 158 was extended along old location US 83. Some time between 1958 and 1969, Farm to Market Road 387 was signed, but not designated, as SH 158. The two disconnected portions were finally connected on May 6, 1969 when Farm to Market Road 387, completed in 1959, was officially re-designated as SH 158 (which it was part of in 1935). [9]

Future

On March 15, 2022, a bill was signed by President Joe Biden that added the extension of I-27 north to Raton, New Mexico, and south to Laredo to the Interstate Highway System utilizing the US 87, US 277 and US 83 corridors. [10] A bill introduced in 2023 would explicitly designate the extension as I-27 with two auxiliary routes numbered I-227 and I-327. I-227 is proposed to be routed via SH 158 from Sterling City to Midland and SH 349 from Midland to Lamesa; I-327 would utilize US 287 from Dumas to the Oklahoma state line. [11] [12] On August 1, 2023, the legislation passed through the U.S. Senate with some slight modifications; the I-227 was redesignated as I-27W with I-27 between Sterling City and Lamesa redesignated as I-27E and I-327 was redesignated as I-27N.

Business routes

SH 158 has one business route.

Business State Highway 158-B (formerly Loop 546) is a business loop that runs on the former routing of SH 158 through Midland. The route was created in 1984 when SH 158 was rerouted around town on top of Loop 250 and SH 349/I-20. Loop 546 was redesignated as Business SH 158-B on June 21, 1990. On June 30, 2011, the road was rerouted to I-20 Business (replacing SH 58), the former route from Loop 268 to Business SH 349 was returned to Midland and the former route from Business SH 349 to SH 158 was transferred to SH 140. [15]

Notes

  1. The certified mileage given is shorter than the actual mileage as TxDOT considers SH 158 to be discontinuous at rather than concurrent with I-20, US 87 and US 277.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Texas State Highway 1</span> Former state highway in Texas, United States

State Highway 1 was a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas. The highway traveled from Texarkana on the eastern border to El Paso on the western border, via Dallas and Fort Worth, Abilene, and Midland–Odessa. SH 1 was approximately 842 miles (1,355 km) long, and was one of the original 25 Texas state highways, which were designated on June 21, 1917. In 1920, the entire length of the highway was designated as part of the Bankhead Highway, a transcontinental Auto trail. In the Texas Department of Transportation's 1939 state highway renumbering, most of SH 1 was redesignated as U.S. Route 80, as well as U.S. Route 67, and others. Most of these highways were replaced by Interstate 10, Interstate 20, and Interstate 30. The only portion of SH 1 that existed after September 26, 1939, was a short spur located in Dallas. Texas State Highway 1 was officially cancelled on August 20, 1952. Due to the highway's historic value, a highway cannot be designated as State Highway 1 unless by the order of TxDOT Executive Director or by the Transportation Commission.
