[edit] Route Description
State Road 3 begins at its intersection with Route 54 in the unincorporated community of Duran. The road travels first in a northwest and then a primarily northern direction for about 14.5 miles (23.3 km) until its junction with U.S. Route 285/U.S. Route 60 in Encino. The road then continues north for 25.5 miles (41.0 km) through largely uninhabited areas to its junction with Interstate 40. It then continues in a generally northern direction to its northern terminus at exit 323 on Interstate 25 in the town of Ribera. This segment passes through Villanueva State Park, where the road briefly follows the Pecos River.
