State Highway 31, or SH 31, runs from U.S. Highway 84 northeast of Waco via Corsicana, Athens, Tyler, Kilgore to U.S. Highway 80 in Longview.
History
SH 31 was a route proposed on October 9, 1917 to run from Waco northeast via Corsicana and Athens to Tyler, which remains the western portion of its current route to this day.[2] By 1926, the route had been extended northeast to Gladewater. On October 26, 1932, SH 31 Spur was designated through Malakoff.[3] On September 26, 1939, this extension was reassigned to U.S. Highway 271 (which it had been cosigned with earlier), with SH 31 now being extended east to Kilgore over former SH 176. SH 31 Spur was renumbered as Spur 63. On June 30, 1971, SH 31 extended north to I-20 concurrent with US 259. When U.S. Highway 259 was rerouted on July 25, 1985, SH 31 was extended northeast into Longview.
