Texas State Highway Loop 541


Loop 541 is a loop route through Kendleton in the U.S. state of Texas. The highway begins at Future I-69/US 59 northeast of Kendleton, intersects with FM 2919 and abruptly comes to an end at a turnaround and an unnamed road. The highway does not reconnect with Future I-69/US 59 at its southwest end. Loop 541 runs parallel with the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.

Route description

Loop 541 is best described from north to south because its southern terminus does not connect with any major road. The highway begins at a Future I-69/US 59 exit ramp to the northeast of Kendleton. After going a distance of, Loop 541 intersects with Gin Road which crosses the railroad and heads northeast. Continuing another the highway comes to a two-way stop sign FM 2919. Be aware that the cross traffic on FM 2919 does not have a stop sign. The Future I-69/US 59 feeder road and overpass is about to the left on FM 2919. Loop 541 continues to the southwest alongside the railroad for about. At this point there is a turnaround. However, a paved road goes a short distance past the turnaround before turning sharply to the northwest at a railroad crossing. Once beyond the railroad, the road becomes gravel and connects with Ben Williams Drive. Contrary to the Texas Department of Transportation highway designation file, Loop 541 does not connect with Future I-69/US 59 at its southwestern end. Future I-69/US 59 may be accessed in both directions from entrance ramps at FM 2919.
