State Highway 180, or SH 180, is a highway that runs through Tarrant County and Dallas County in Texas (USA) between Interstate 35W in Fort Worth, running east to Loop 12 in Dallas.
Route description
The entire route runs no more than a few miles south parallel of the former Dallas-Fort Worth Turnpike (now Interstate 30), but does not intersect with it at any point.
The highway begins as Lancaster Avenue from Interstate 35W just southeast of downtown Fort Worth.
Entering Arlington, it becomes Division Street, and passes just south of AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Park in Arlington.
After entering Grand Prairie, it becomes Main Street, passing through mainly older commercial buildings and the city's downtown area.
History
SH 180 was previously designated on November 30, 1932 as a connector route from Annona north to then-SH 5.[3] been previously designated as SH 5A, and was decommissioned on January 25, 1938.[4] redesignated as Spur 23 on September 26, 1939, and FM 44 on May 19, 1942.
The current SH 180 was designated in 1991 when US 80 was decommissioned west of Mesquite. [5] On October 30, 2014, the section of SH 180 from Loop 12 to Interstate 35E was removed from the state highway system and returned to the city of Dallas.
