History
Historic routes
State Highway 6 was one of the original 25 state highways proposed on June 21, 1917, overlying theĀ King of Trails Highway.[3]Ā From 1919, the routing mostly followed present-dayĀ U.S. Highway 75Ā fromĀ OklahomaĀ toĀ Dallas, thenĀ U.S. Highway 77Ā toĀ Waco.
Current routes
On August 21, 1923, SH 6 was extended along the eastern Gulf Division branch ofĀ State Highway 2Ā to keep SH 2 from having two separate highways with the same number.[4]Ā In 1926, US 75 and US 77 were overlaid on northern SH 6 from Waco northward through the Dallas area to Denison, and US 75 was overlaid on the section from Houston to Galveston. In 1935, US 290 was overlaid on the section from Hempstead to Houston. While the routes were marked concurrently, the concurrent SH 6 kept its numbering until September 26, 1939, when SH 6 was truncated to the Gulf Division routing ending at Waco. It was rerouted south from Hempstead to Galveston, replacingĀ SH 242Ā andĀ SH 38. On September 26, 1945, the roadway was extended northwest toĀ BreckenridgeĀ overĀ SH 67, continuing northwest to nearĀ ThrockmortonĀ alongĀ SH 157, which was decommissioned. That same day, the section in southeast Texas betweenĀ HempsteadĀ andĀ Sugar LandĀ was cancelled, as it was redundant with the newĀ Farm to Market Road 359. On August 20, 1952, the route was truncated on the north side, ending near Breckenridge. This section was transferred to U.S. Highway 183. On September 26, 1967, SH 6 was rerouted to bypass Bremond, with the old route through Bremond transferred toĀ SH 14Ā andĀ FM 46. On November 1, 1968, the section between Hempstead and Sugar Land was re-established, as it was routed along U.S. Highway 290 until it reached Farm to Market Road (FM) 1960, then replacing FM 1960 southward to where the southern branch of SH 6 intersected to what is now Interstate 69/U.S. Highway 59 in Sugar Land. That portion of FM 1960 from 290 to then Highway 90 at Addicks was built in the 1950s, replacing and rerouting some of what was known as Jackrabbit Road. In the early 1970s, the northern section underwent a massive rerouting due to realignments of numerous U.S. and state routes. On August 4, 1971, the section from Breckenridge south to Eastland was redesignated asĀ State Highway 69. SH 6 was instead rerouted west along U.S. Highway 80 toĀ Cisco, then replacedĀ U.S. Highway 380Ā northwest to near Old Glory. The route was again extended on July 31, 1975, replacingĀ State Highway 283Ā between Old Glory and Stamford northward to the Texas/Oklahoma border, completing the current routing of SH 6. The old route of SH 6 was transferred to new SH 283. On October 27, 1989, a section from US 90A to McKeever Road (McKeever Bypass) was added.[5]
A spur,Ā SH 6AĀ was designated on August 1, 1928 from SH 6 to Texas City.[6]Ā On March 19, 1930, this route was renumbered asĀ State Highway 146.
In June 2016, a section of the highway inĀ Eastland CountyĀ betweenĀ CiscoĀ andĀ AlbanyĀ was destroyed due toĀ major flooding.[7]

Marlin business loop
Business State Highway 6-N (formerly Loop 23) is aĀ business loopĀ that runs from SH 6 nearĀ MarlinĀ in central Texas. The road was bypassed on November 30, 1978 by SH 6 and designated Loop 23. The road was redesignated as Business SH 6-N on June 21, 1990.[8][9]
Reagan business loop
Business State Highway 6-P is a business loop that runs nearĀ Reagan. The road was bypassed on June 25, 2015 by SH 6 when it was rerouted west.[10]
Bryan-College Station business loop
Business State Highway 6-R (formerly Loop 507) is a business loop that runs throughĀ BryanĀ andĀ College Station. The route runs on Texas Avenue in both cities. The route, created in 1972 when SH 6 was routed further north and east, is 12.5 miles (20.1Ā km) long.[11]Ā The road was redesignated as Business SH 6-R on June 21, 1990. It serves as the eastern boundary ofĀ Texas A&M University.
Business State Highway 6-S (formerly Loop 508) is a business loop that runs throughĀ NavasotaĀ on La Salle Avenue. The route was created in 1972 when SH 6 was rerouted further north and east around town; it is 6.3 miles (10.1Ā km). The road was redesignated as Business SH 6-S on June 21, 1990.[12]

Route description
SH 6 begins at an intersection with Interstate 45 and SH 3 inĀ BayouĀ Vista, and proceeds to the northwest, paralleling the ATSF railroad tracks. The highway makes a mostly straight line through Galveston, Brazoria, and Fort Bend Counties, passing through the city ofĀ Alvin. As the highway traverses through Sugar Land, it makes a turn to the north after passing intersections with Interstate 69/US Route 59 and Alternate US Route 90. The highway continues north into western Harris County, reaching the Westpark Tollway and Interstate 10. It then intersects US Route 290 in CyFair, joining it as they travel to the northwest, thus finishing a large routing around the southern and western portions of Houston. The route continues northwest with US 290 as a limited-access highway. At Hockley, the highway veers to the right, forking from an old alignment of the highway, and bypassing the cities of Waller and Hempstead to the north. At Hempstead, it splits from US 290 and turns northward into Grimes County, where it bypasses the city of Navasota, while Business SH 6 passes through town. The highway then turns northwest again, crossing into Brazos County. The highway starts another bypass here, going around the Bryan/College Station area to the northeast, while the business route goes through these cities. On the northeast side of Bryan, the highway meets US Route 190, and they travel together to the northwest out of the region. SH 6 splits with US 190 in the town of Hearne, but joins US Route 79 before that route splits to the northeast about a mile north of town. SH 6 then continues northwest, traveling through lesser populated farmlands, before approaching Waco. Before entering Waco, it turns southeast on State Loop 340, and bypasses Waco to the south. It reaches an intersection with Interstate 35, and then turns to the northwest again, crossing over Lake Waco. The highway continues northwest and west through more farmland regions in Central Texas, before reaching an intersection with Interstate 20 just south ofĀ Eastland. The route briefly turns west, traveling along the former route of US Route 80, before turning back to the northwest atĀ Cisco. As it continues, it is briefly concurrent with US Routes 180 and 277 in northcentral Texas. Just northwest ofĀ Stamford, the highway makes its final turn to the north at an intersection with SH 283. The highway then travels through sparsely populated areas of Haskell, Knox, Foard, and Hardeman Counties before ending north ofĀ QuanahĀ at the Red River, where it meets Oklahoma State Highway 6.
Future
WhenĀ Interstate 14Ā is routed through the College Station Area it will follow State Highway 6 (Earl Rudder Freeway) from US 190 toĀ State Highway 30Ā to Huntsville. Also, theĀ US 190Corridor from State Highway 6 toĀ Interstate 45Ā could be signed as auxiliary Interstate (possibly Interstate 514) and be upgraded.
