EspañolU.S. ROUTE 190
(Redirected from U.S. Highway 190)
'U.S. Route 190', also known as the Ronald Reagan memorial highway, is an east-west United States highway. It evolved from the shortest of in-state routes in 1926 to a two-state route longer than many two-digit Interstate highways, and now leads from the Piney forests of Louisiana to the West Texas desert.
As of 2004, the highway's eastern terminus is in the bayous near Slidell, Louisiana at an intersection with U.S. Highway 90. This junction was once known as the "White Kitchen" after a restaurant that was once located there. [2] [3] Its western terminus is in the middle of Pecos County, Texas at an intersection with Interstate 10, 20 miles (32 km) from the tiny town of Iraan and 60 miles (97 km) from any sizable community.
★ In the original 1926 plan, US 190 served the purpose of modern-day Interstate 12, as the road around the north side of Lake Pontchartrain.
★ In 1935, the route was extended across the Mississippi River, taking over a section of U.S. Route 71. It then ended in the West Texas town of Brady, Texas at an intersection with U.S. Highway 87.
★ U.S. 190 was assigned to its last, lonely 150 miles (241 km) across the sparsely populated area south of San Angelo, Texas in 1979.
The highway passes through the following states:
★ Louisiana
★ Texas
★ Slidell, Louisiana
★ Mandeville, Louisiana
★ Covington, Louisiana
★ Hammond, Louisiana
★ Denham Springs, Louisiana
★ Baton Rouge, Louisiana
★ Opelousas, Louisiana
★ DeRidder, Louisiana
★ Jasper, Texas
★ Huntsville, Texas
★ Bryan, Texas
★ Temple, Texas
★ Lampasas, Texas
★ Killeen, Texas
★ Brady, Texas
The current 190 near Krotz Springs is a new highway. The road was built as an elevated bypass around the road called Old 190. The other bypass is the old bridge that once crossed the Morganza Spillway. It is bypassed by a single four-lane highway.
