Texas State Highway Loop 289

Loop 289 is a multi-lane beltway servicing Lubbock as a freeway. The highway serves as the southern end for Interstate 27 on the south side of the city. The highway passes about a mile south of Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport on the north side near the intersection with I-27.

History

Lubbock is among the smallest U.S. cities to be encircled by a beltway or loop highway. Loop 289 is grade-separated. Built from 1960 to 1972, it is 26 miles (42 kilometers) long. When first constructed, Loop 289 passed through entirely rural areas. Today, urban sprawl extends beyond the beltway, especially in southwestern Lubbock.

I-27, completed through Lubbock in 1992, serves as the city's north-south expressway. In 2004, construction began on the Marsha Sharp Freeway, the east-west expressway. Cosigned as US 62 / US 82 at its interchange with Loop 289, the Marsha Sharp Freeway begins northeast of Downtown Lubbock extending a mile west of Loop 289. The freeway is under construction to be extended west the nearby suburb of Wolfforth.
