Farm to Market Road 89 or FM 89 is a state highway in the U.S. State of Texas that starts at FM 126 near Nolan and continues east to U.S. Highways 83 and 84 in Abilene.
FM 89 starts just east of the Nolan/Taylor County Line. The highway startles the Callahan Divide surrounded by wind turbines until Abilene State Park when the terrain becomes flatter as the road comes into Buffalo Gap. When coming into Buffalo Gap, FM 89 winds through town then continues northward toward Abilene. Upon entering the Wyile portion of Abilene, FM 89 becomes locally known as Buffalo Gap Rd and continues with this designation past the Mall of Abilene to the Winters Freeway, where Buffalo Gap Rd. continues northward.
