History

In 1995, the designation of RM 2244 was changed to Urban Road 2244 (UR 2244)[2], although as with most Urban Roads, no signage changes have been made.

Route description

RM 2244 starts at an intersection with SH 71 in the south part of Bee Cave, Texas. It proceeds east for 7.6 miles (12.2 km) as a four-lane divided roadway to intersect Loop 360. After leaving Bee Cave, the road is relatively lightly developed, although it passes by the community of Lost Creek.

After passing Loop 360, RM 2244 continues southeast for 6.5 miles (10.5 km) to its termination at Loop 1 (Mopac Boulevard), just southwest of downtown Austin. In this segment, RM 2244 passes through the suburban cities of West Lake Hills and Rollingwood.
