State Highway 32 (SH 32) is a proposed loop around the southern side of Brownsville from Interstate 69E/US Highway 77/US Highway 83 (I-69E/US 77/US 83) to SH 4. The route is still in the planning stages.[1]

Route description

[edit]

SH 32 is planned to begin at an intersection with I-69E/US 77/US 83 in Brownsville. From there, it will head southeast to Farm to Market Road 1419 (FM 1419). It will continue east along the alignment of FM 1419 to FM 3068. From this intersection, SH 32 will head northeast to its eastern terminus at SH 4.[1]

History

SH 32 was a route proposed on October 9, 1917, from Corsicana southeast to Huntsville.[2] On September 26, 1939, this route was reassigned to US 75, with which it was cosigned before this. The current route was designated on April 29, 2010, over new locations and part of FM 1419.
