  • Minute Order 89979, dated February 27, 1990, created an official highway designation called Business Routes.  Many State Loops and Spurs were signed as Business Routes but were not designated as such.  Based on the through highways it is connected to, Business Route designations and signs include the number of the through highway and a letter suffix to distinguish one from another.
  • The longest business route is BU 83-S in Hidalgo and Cameron Counties, at a length of approximately 47.0 miles.
  • The shortest business route is BS 114-J in Rhome (Wise County), a distance of approximately 0.4 mile.
