Likely from 1991 or earlier, as US 80 was decommissioned west of Dallas in 1991. Was really annoyed I was driving by myself when I chanced upon it as it's the type of useless trivia I like to force upon unsuspecting friends. This thread will have to do. :)

Woah, neat. I've driven through it a few times but never made that connection that it was a SPUI before. It just feels... interestingly crowded.
