Farm to Market Road 802 (FM 802) is a farm to market road entirely within the city limits of Brownsville, Texas.[1]
Route description
FM 802 begins at an intersection with US 281. The route travels eastward along Ruben M. Torres Sr. Boulevard, and lies to the north of the Los Fresnos Canal. It crosses the I-69E / US 77 / US 83 freeway, FM 1847, and SH 48 before ending at an intersection with FM 511 north of Brownsville Airport.[1][3]
History
FM 802 was initially designated in 1948, consisting of a segment from US 83 eastward to SH 48. The same year saw a westward extension to US 281, and the eastern extension to FM 511 occurred in 1951. Originally, FM 802 followed Coffee Port Road through Brownsville, but the route was relocated to a more northerly alignment in 1975.[1]
In 1995, the official designation of the route was changed by TxDOT to Urban Road 802 (UR 802); as with other urban roads, the route continues to be signed as FM 802.[2]
