Farm to Market Road 2528 (FM 2528) is a farm to market road located in the Lubbock metropolitan area. The section of FM 2528 from Loop 289 to U.S. Highway 84 (US 84) is internally designated as Urban Road 2528 by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

Route description

FM 2528 begins at Loop 289 in west Lubbock. The highway runs north along Frankford Avenue and has an intersection with FM 2255 (4th Street) near a major retail center. Development along the highway begins to lower after an intersection with Erskine Street before leaving the city limits of Lubbock. Shortly after leaving Lubbock, FM 2528 has an intersection with US 84 and FM 2641 shortly after that. The highway travels through sparsely populated areas of Lubbock County and overlaps with FM 597 between Anton and Abernathy. After leaving FM 597, FM 2528 enters Lamb County and ends at an intersection with FM 54 southeast of Spade.[2]

History
