Spur 247 is a state highway spur in the community of Pyote in Ward County, Texas. [1]
Spur 247 begins in Pyote at Spur 57, the former route of US 80 in the region. It travels northward along Pyote Street, crossing RM 2355 before leaving the town. It then curves to the northeast to reach its northern terminus at SH 115. [1] [2]
A previous route numbered Spur 247 was designated in San Antonio, Bexar County on November 19, 1951 from then-US 81 via South Alamo Street, Probandt Street, and Steves Avenue to then-US 181 on South Presa Street. This route was cancelled on March 18, 1960 as a majority of it was concurrent with US 87 and other routes. [1]
Later that year, the current Spur 247 was designated on July 25, 1960 over the former route of SH 115 through Pyote, which was rerouted to the east to eventually connect with the newly constructed I-20. The original southern terminus of Spur 247 was intended to be I-20; however, the terminus would later be redescribed as US 80 (now Spur 57). [1]
The entire highway is in Ward County.

State Highway 302 is a Texas state highway maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The 83.2-mile (133.9 km) route runs from U.S. Route 285 northwest of Pecos to Interstate 20 near Odessa. The route passes through Reeves, Loving, Winkler, and Ector counties. SH 302 has intersections with SH 115 and SH 18 in the Kermit area, and SH 158 east of Notrees. The route intersects Loop 338 and Spur 450 in West Odessa and then follows Loop 338 along the west side of Odessa until SH 302 terminates at I-20. SH 302 also intersects several Farm to Market Roads and an Interstate business route.
State Highway Spur 260 (Spur 260), also known as Jaime Zapata Memorial Highway, is a state highway in southeastern Laredo, Texas, connecting U.S. Highway 83 (US 83) and State Highway 359 (SH 359). The route was designated in 2008 but continued to be signed as part of State Highway Loop 20 (Loop 20) until the opening of Cuatro Vientos Road in July 2011, when the Loop 20 designation was shifted to the new route. The contemporary Spur 260 constitutes the original extent of Loop 20, as originally designated in 1939.
Numerous special routes of U.S. Route 67, all business routes, exist. One other route, formerly an alternate route in western Illinois, has since been downgraded to state Route 267.
All of the business loops within Texas are maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Interstate 20 (I-20) has 15 business loops in the state, all located in western Texas. Along I-20, TxDOT identifies each business route as Business Interstate 20 followed by an alphabetic suffix. Along Texas Interstates, the alphabetic suffixes on business route names ascend eastward and northward. There are gaps in the alphabetic values to allow for future system expansion. The alphabetic naming suffixes are included as small letters on the bottom of route shields.
