State Highway 168 or SH 168 is a short state highway in the U.S. state of Texas connecting the naval installation at Galveston to SH 87. At 0.87 miles (1.40 km) long, it is the shortest main state highway in Texas.
[edit] History
SH 168 was previously designated as a possible route extending from Campbellton northeast through Floresville ending near Stockdale. By 1939, the section from Floresville to Stockdale was transferred to SH 97, while the section from Campbellton to Floresville remains unbuilt to this day.[citation needed] The current routing in Galveston was designated in October 1985.[1]
[edit] Route description
SH 168 runs north from SH 87 approximately 0.87 miles (1.40 km) to the Naval installation in Galveston. The highway runs parallel to the east of SH 87 near where SH 87 crosses Galveston Bay via the Bolivar Free Ferry.[1]
