From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
State Highway 288, or SH 288, is a north-south highway in the southeastern portion of the U.S. state of Texas, between I-45 in downtown Houston and Freeport, where it terminates on FM 1495. The route was originally designated by 1939, replacing the southern portion of SH 19.
In Harris County, SH 288 is the South Freeway, a divided freeway known for having one of the widest medians of the local road system. It retains freeway status from its northern terminus until a couple miles north of SH 6. From the Harris-Brazoria County Line, it is referred to as the Nolan Ryan Expressway, in recognition of Baseball Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan of Alvin, Texas, which is not directly on this road.
