Route description

RM 165 begins at Loop 163 (the former alignment of US 281) in Blanco. The route generally travels east to an intersection with RM 2325, and then to the northeast before ending at a junction with US 290 near the town of Henly.[1]

RM 165 (in conjunction with Loop 163) provides a bypass of Johnson City and the US 281/290 junction for traffic traveling between Blanco and points east of Henly, such as Dripping Springs and Austin.[1][2]

History

RM 165 was designated in 1945, connecting US 281 (and, after its realignment, Loop 163) to Middle Creek Road, approximately 5.4 miles (8.7 km) to the east. The designation was extended to the current eastern terminus of US 290 in 1957.[1][3]
