State Highway 82 (SH 82) is a 13.009-mile (20.936 km) state highway in Jefferson County, Texas, United States, that connects Louisiana Highway 82 (LA 82) at the Louisiana state line (on the Causeway Bridge over the Sabine River) with Texas State Highway 72 (SH 72) in Port Arthur. A roadway existed from at least 1970, when the Gulfgate Bridge (later renamed Martin Luther King Bridge) was completed; the route was designated SH 82 in 1975. The designation had previously applied to a route in West Texas, from 1923 to 1958.
Route description
History
= Pecos, Ward, and Winkler counties
=SH 82 was originally designated on August 21, 1923, on a route from the West Texas town of Monahans south to Fort Stockton, with a planned extension south to Sanderson, replacing part of SH 17. On October 16, 1928, SH 82 was extended north to Kermit. On June 25, 1929, SH 82 was extended north to the New Mexico state line. The planned extension to Sanderson was transferred to newly designated U.S. Highway 285 (cosigned since 1935) on September 26, 1939. On February 27, 1958, the remainder of the route was renumbered as SH 18, to coordinate with its intersection with New Mexico State Road 18.
= Jefferson County
=On January 29, 1975, SH 82 was designated over its current route in Jefferson County from SH 87 to Louisiana Highway 82. On January 7, 1987, the route was extended 2.1 miles (3.4 km) to SH 73 incorporating the former Spur 214. The section west of Sabine Pass was previously proposed on September 19, 1956, as SH 362 (for access to the proposed levee; to be cancelled when construction was completed), but the designation was changed to FM 1900 on December 13, 1956 (still was to be cancelled when construction was completed), and FM 1900 was completed, and FM 1900 was cancelled on October 30, 1958, due to completion of construction.
