History

From before 1939, SH 308 originally ran from the former SH 230 (now FM 60 in College Station) through the A&M campus along Spence Street to the former SH 307 . In 1941, the on-campus routing was changed to Bizzell Street, and in 1943, the highway was extended north to its current terminus. In 1963, the portion south of FM 60, including the on-campus portion, was removed from the highway, leaving it in its current, truncated state.
