Route description

The road begins at an intersection with SH 64 just west of Colfax, Texas. From there, it goes east through Colfax and Van, intersecting Interstate 20 at an interchange. From Van, the road continues east along SH 110 passing through the towns of Garden Valley, Hideaway, Lindale, Red Springs, and Winona, where it has a brief concurrency with SH 155. From Winona, the road continues east to the eastern terminus at US 271.^[1]^[2]

History
