Texas Spur 260, also known as Jaime Zapata Memorial Highway, is a state highway in southeastern Laredo, Texas connecting U.S. Route 83 and Texas State Highway 359. The route was designated in 2008 but continued to be signed as part of Texas State Highway Loop 20 until the opening of Cuatro Vientos Road in July 2011, when the Loop 20 designation was shifted to the new route.[2][3][4][5] The contemporary Spur 260 constitutes the original extent of Loop 20, as originally designated in 1939.[6]









History

The number originally belonged to Loop 260, designated on August 20, 1952 from US 80 via Fort Worth Avenue and Commerce Street to US 80. On June 25, 1991, Loop 260 was cancelled and removed from the state highway system. On August 28, 1991, the section of US 80 along Davis Street and Zang Boulevard was removed from the state highway system.
