History
SH 57 was originally designated by 1926 on a route along the Gulf Coast from Tivoli to near Corpus Christi. By 1928, it had extended to Palacios. By 1935, this route was renumbered as part of SH 35.[4]
The SH 57 designation was once again used beginning in 1966, on a route from Eagle Pass to near Moore, as a renumbering of SH 76 and to coincide with Mexican Federal Highway 57. This route would be renumbered US 57 in 1971.[1]
The current SH 57 was designated in 1994.[1] There are plans for the highway to be extended west to connect with Segment 3 of the under construction Loop 49.
Major intersections
The entire route is in Tyler, Smith County.
