Spur 53 was a state highway spur in San Antonio, Texas. [1] It is known locally as UTSA Boulevard.
Spur 53 provided access from Interstate 10 to the southern side of the University of Texas at San Antonio. State maintenance began along UTSA Boulevard at a point approximately 200 ft (61 m) west of the main southern entrance of UTSA at Edward Ximenes Avenue. The route travelled east, passing the headquarters of Valero Energy Corporation, before the Spur 53 designation ended at Interstate 10 Exit #557. UTSA Boulevard continued to the east under local jurisdiction. [1] [2]
A previous route known as Spur 53 was designated on September 25, 1939, connecting with US 81 in the town of West. This designation was canceled on December 1, 1953, when the mileage for that route was transferred to FM 2114. [1] [3]
The next route was designated on May 21, 1980. [1] In early 2015, TxDOT began to increase capacity by doubling the number of lanes in each direction, adding a median, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes. Upon issuance of the Project Acceptance Letter for project CSJ 2230-02-004 (a minute order created on December 18, 2014, as part of TxDOT's San Antonio turnback program, which gave 21.8 miles of roads to the city), [4] Spur 53 will be cancelled. [5] The cancellation did not occur until March 28, 2019. [6]
The entire route is in San Antonio, Bexar County.

U.S. Route 290 is an east–west U.S. Highway located entirely within the state of Texas. Its western terminus is at Interstate 10 southeast of Segovia, and its eastern terminus is at Interstate 610 in northwest Houston. It is the main highway between Houston and Austin and is a cutoff for travelers wanting to bypass San Antonio on Interstate 10. Throughout its length west of Austin, US 290 cuts across mountainous hills comprising the Texas Hill Country and the Edwards Plateau; between Austin and Houston, the highway then travels through gradually hilly grasslands and pine forests comprising the Gulf Coastal Plains.
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 can not be designated as Texas State Highway 1 unless by the order of TxDOT Executive Director or by the Transportation Commission.
