    Ii.2. Meridian Highway (Sh 2) – Us 81 – Ih 35/35W

    The Development of Highways in Texas: A Historic Context of the Bankhead Highway and Other Historic Named Highways II.2. MERIDIAN HIGHWAY (SH 2) – US 81 – IH 35/35W INTRODUCTION The Meridian Highway historically has been the major north–south named highway in Texas since the early 1910s. As originally conceived by the International Meridian Road Association in 1911, it stretched from Canada to Mexico, extending through the nation’s mid-section and the expansive Great Plains region. It initially was planned to enter Texas near Burkburnett and continued south through Wichita Falls, Bowie, Fort Worth, Cleburne, Waco, Austin, San Antonio and Laredo. A major lateral, called the Gulf Division, was planned to extend from Waco to Galveston, passing through Marlin, Bryan, Hempstead, and Houston. (See Figure 164.) With the creation of the Texas Highway Department in 1917, the Meridian Highway in Texas was designated as SH 2, signifying that the Texas Highway Commission deemed it to be the state’s second most important highway at the time, after the Bankhead Highway (SH 1). The adoption of the AASHO interstate highway numbering plan added another designation layer onto the Meridian Highway: US 81. That name, rather than SH 2, has endured over time. However, US 81 did not follow the route proposed by the Meridian Road Association precisely. The creation of US 81 in Texas excluded the Wichita Falls– Bowie leg, which was renamed as US 277 and, later, US 370. The Gulf Division also was excluded from the route of US 81; instead, it became SH 6 and, later, US 75.
