Texas State Highway 48

Perspective from SH 48 West
Approaching the west end of SH 48, we find a myriad of route choices. Turn right (north) for BU 77-Z to reach Harlingen, or continue west on US 281 to reach Pharr. Photo taken February 19, 2006.
SH 48 ends here. There is no end SH 48 marker as is common in Texas. BU 77-Z crosses north to south here – travel north on BU 77-Z to reach US 77/83, or travel south of BU 77-Z to reach the border at SH 4. Continue west to reach US 281. Photo taken February 19, 2006.

Perspective from SH 48 East
SH 48 begins here, at the junction of US 281 and BU 77-Z. Notice the sign for Business 281 – US 281 ends at this intersection, and there is no Business US 281 in Brownsville. This sign is placed for motorist convenience, but US 281 shields disappear quickly on BU 77-Z. Photo taken February 19, 2006.
This is the first reassurance marker on SH 48 eastbound. Photo taken February 19, 2006.
SH 48 is part of the Texas Tropical Trail. Photo taken February 19, 2006.
SH 48 meets FM (UR) 1847 here. FM (UR) 1847 travels north via Los Fresnos to reach Arroyo Colorado. Photo taken February 19, 2006.
