Route description

Spur 3 begins at a junction with the SH 358 freeway. It travels north, first along Ennis Joslin Boulevard and then along Alameda Street. The route turns to the east at Ocean Drive. Signage indicating that state maintenance ends is present east of the Sand Dollar Boulevard entrance to TAMU-CC.[1][2]

History

The original route with the Loop 3 designation was established on September 26, 1939, as a loop of US 81 in New Braunfels as a renumbering of SH 2 Bypass. A portion of that route became part of SH 46 during that route's extension on September 16, 1960, and the remainder was deleted from the state highway system on November 5, 1971. The current routing of Spur 3 was designated on February 23, 1993.[1]

gollark: I was analyzing the possible things I could replace my old HP tower with (as of now it is not replaced but oh well), see, and there were two main options:- a raspberry pi + SSD + power supply + HDMI adapter thing for the screen + SSD case- literally my desktop with the GPU replaced with a fanless one
gollark: observe, transcoded video™
gollark: I primarily went for not using a pi because it was somehow more expensive (factoring in all the additional hardware) and because sometimes I run really heavy tasks like video transcoding and minecraft servers.
gollark: See, they can run off battery packs since they're low-power, meaning no nonsense like "power cuts" disrupting uptime.
gollark: I was actually looking at using an RPI for most server-ing duties.
