Farm to Market Road 1288 (FM 1288) is a farm to market road in Clay County, Texas.[1]

Route description

FM 1288 begins north of Newport, at an intersection with SH 59.[2] It travels to the north through the farming areas of southeastern Clay County, through the community of Vashti, to Bellevue and US 287, the main thoroughfare in the region. After a brief concurrency with US 287, the route continues north about 4.5 mi (7.2 km) before state maintenance ends.[1] The roadway continues as Worsham Road under county jurisdiction before it eventually becomes FM 1134.[2]

FM 1288 is a two-lane route for its entire length, except for the section that is concurrent with US 287 in Bellevue.

History

FM 1288 was first designated in neighboring Montague County in 1949; the route traveled westward from US 287 near Bowie to the Clay County line. The section from Bellevue to Vashti was originally designated FM 176 until FM 176 was replaced by an extension of FM 174; after the designation of FM 1288 was extended in 1953 to Vashti and then southward to SH 59, the state effectively swapped the designations of the two segments, eliminating the 90-degree bend in FM 174 and removing FM 1288 from Montague County.[3]=In 1958, FM 1288 extended north 3 miles. In 1959, FM 1288 extended north 2.2 miles to its current terminus.[1]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Clay County.
