Route description

Spur 164 is a two-lane roadway that is signed as Greenbriar Road; the road continues past both of Spur 164's termini as County Road 1125. State maintenance begins at Greenbriar Lake Road, approximately a half-mile north of an intersection with Spur 364. The southern terminus is also at the entrance to the now-defunct Tyler State Fish Hatchery. The highway travels north, crossing the Union Pacific Railroad before ending at SH 31.[2]

History

The road was designated as SH 140 in 1929. By 1935, the road was removed from the state highway system due to completion. Spur 164 was designated on February 28, 1945; its southern end has always been at its current location, as its purpose was to connect SH 31 to the Tyler State Fish Hatchery.[1] Spur 364 was designated in 1962, but the Spur 164 designation was never extended to that route.[3] The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department ceased maintaining the Hatchery in 1998; however, TxDOT continues to maintain the route.[4]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Smith County.
