List of unused highways in Texas

An unused highway may reference a highway or highway ramp that was partially or fully constructed but was unused[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] or later closed.[10][11][12] An unused ramp can be referred to as a stub ramp,[13] stub street,[2][14][15] stub-out,[2] or simply stub.[16][17] The following is a list:

Texas

Houston

Baytown

Roanoke

Arlington

San Antonio

Fort Worth

Austin

Wichita Falls

Never built section of Kell Freeway in Wichita Falls just to the east of 287.

Pasadena

Washburn Tunnel unknown stub in Pasadena, Texas.

Devers

Unknown use stub on U.S. 90 between Devers and Nome, possibly widening the highway in the future.

Elsewhere

A ramp at the interchange between Interstate 10 and Interstate 20 near Kent which connected I-10 westbound to I-10 eastbound in order to provide access from I-20 westbound to I-10 eastbound was abandoned when a newer ramp with the same function was built immediately to the west.

U.S. 287 in north Texas has at least five stub-outs along its length between Fort Worth and Vernon. These are: - between Rhome and Decatur - just north of Alvord - between Iowa Park and Electra - just east of Harrold - just west of Harrold Apparently plans were to upgrade U.S. 287 to a full four-lane freeway for much of the way between Fort Worth and Vernon, but either due to lack of traffic or lack of funding, most of the road is either a four-lane divided highway, expressway or small section of controlled access freeway. There is no date or information if these stub outs will ever be built out. There was even talk at one time of upgrading 287 to "Interstate 32" from Fort Worth to Amarillo and possibly on to Denver, Colorado.
