Loop 2 is a state highway loop in Waco. It runs from I-35 to US 84.

History

Loop 2 was designated from US 81 though Waco to US 81 as a renumbering of SH 2 Bypass. On November 29, 1955, the section from 18th Street and Washington Street northeastward along Washington Street and Elm Street to US 81 was cancelled. Loop 2 was instead extended west to new location US 84 (the old route became Spur 298 and Spur 299). On August 5, 1966, Loop 2 extended southeast to US 77. On October 2, 1970, the section of Loop 2 from I-35 to Loop 491 was redesignated as part of rerouted US 77. Loop 491 got cancelled on June 21, 1990, as the route became Business US 77-L.
