Farm to Market Road 1528

FM 1528 begins at an intersection with FM 64 in the unincorporated community of Antioch as a two-lane, paved road. The highway proceeds southward, entering rural areas and intersecting several small roads. The road continues, entering the former community of Gough and intersects FM 2068. FM 1528 turns due eastward and continues, exiting the Gough area. The roadway proceeds east, intersecting several county roads and traveling past several small houses. The highway bends southward and travels a short distance before it intersects SH 24. The highway runs concurrently with SH 24 for a short distance before splitting off, proceeding into the community of Klondike. The road turns northeast, after it proceeds through Klondike and intersects FM 2890. The roadway continues northeastward, passing through the Cooper Wildlife Management Area, as well as traveling over a creek leading to Cooper Lake before it reenters rural areas. It continues, passing over another creek before it bends eastward. At the southern edge of Cooper, the route intersects FM 1880. The road bends northward, entering the city of Cooper. The roadway passes several small buildings in the community before reaching its eastern terminus, an intersection with SH 154 and State Highway 24 Business.[2][3]

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) publishes yearly reports of the highway's annual average daily traffic (AADT), with counts usually taken near intersections. In 2011, FM 1528's highest traveled point was within the city proper of Cooper, with a daily average of 1550 vehicles. Just outside Cooper, the count drops to around 800 vehicles.[4] In Klondike, the AADT is around 300 vehicles, while just west of Klondike, the count is just over 100. The highway's least traveled point is near its western terminus, with an average of just 90 vehicles.[5] No portion of the highway is listed on the National Highway System,[6] a network of roads important to the country's economy, defense, and mobility.[7]

The first segments of road in the location of what would become FM 1528 existed by the year of 1936.[8] On September 26, 1939, a portion of road traveling from SH 24 to the community of Klondike was designated as Spur Highway 39 (Spur 39).[9] and on September 28, 1949, through the order of the Texas Transportation Board, FM 1528 was designated, and Spur 39 was redesignated as part of the highway.[1][9] In 1961, the highway had a bituminous surface, a combination of gravel and asphalt.[10] By 1987, the highway had been minorly rerouted and straightened, and the entire length had been paved.[11] Between 1986 and 1991, the highway's route was minorly rerouted between Klondike and Cooper, due to the construction of Cooper Lake.[12]

The entire road is in Delta County.
