Farm to Market Road 1535 (FM 1535) is a 8.192 mi (13.184 km) farm to market road in Bexar County, Texas.[1] It is known in Greater San Antonio as NW Military Highway.
Route description
FM 1535 begins at Interstate 410 in Castle Hills. The route travels north through north central San Antonio, crossing Wurzbach Parkway, and into Shavano Park, where it has a junction with Loop 1604. FM 1535 ends at the San Antonio city limits, at the entrance to the Camp Bullis Military Training Reservation.[1][2]
History
FM 1535 was designated in 1955. Its designation was officially changed to Urban Road 1535 (UR 1535) in 1995; however, as with other urban roads, TxDOT continues to sign the route with the farm-to-market route marker.[3] In 2003, the route was designated the Second Indian Head Division Memorial Highway, in honor of the 2nd Infantry Division of the U.S. Army.[3]
Historically, another FM 1535 was designated in Freestone County from FM 80 south of Teague west and south to a road intersection in 1949. This route was never constructed due to lack of funding and the designation was relinquished in 1955.[1]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Bexar County.
