Farm to Market Road 2657 (FM 2657) is a farm to market road in Burnet and Lampasas counties, Texas.[1]

Route description

FM 2657 begins in Briggs at an intersection with Loop 308, the old alignment of US 183 through the community.[2][3] The route runs briefly to the northeast and then to the north through unincorporated Burnet County. It has an intersection with RM 963 before entering southern Lampasas County.[4] FM 2657 ends at an intersection with US 190 in Copperas Cove, just west of the Coryell County line.[1]

History

A previous route of FM 2657 was designated in Gregg County in 1960, from SH 26 (now US 259) to the Harrison County line. In 1962, the route was extended east to FM 2208 in Harrison County. In 1966, that route became part of FM 449.[5] The current route became part of the state highway system in 1967, replacing the southern section of RM 963 to Briggs and the northern section of FM 2808 to Copperas Cove. The route was originally designated as RM 2657, and was changed from an RM to an FM in 1992.[1]
