Farm to Market Road 3248 or FM 3248 is a farm to market route around the western and northern portions of Brownsville, Texas.

Route description

FM 3248 begins at an intersection with US 281 in Brownsville, Cameron County, heading north on West Alton Gloor Boulevard, a five-lane road with a center left-turn lane. The road heads through residential neighborhoods before becoming a two-lane road and running between woodland within the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge to the west and businesses to the east. The highway turns east-northeast and runs through more residential and commercial areas, crossing a Union Pacific railroad line. FM 3248 heads into commercial areas as a five-lane road with a center left-turn lane and comes to an interchange with I-69E/US 77/US 83. Past this interchange, the road becomes East Alton Gloor Boulevard and continues into areas of residential neighborhoods and businesses. The highway intersects FM 1847 and becomes two-lane Dr. Hugh Emerson Boulevard, heading into unincorporated areas and passing through farmland with some homes. FM 3248 crosses back into Brownsville and comes to its eastern terminus at FM 511.[1][2][3]

History

FM 3248 was originally designated in 1971 from what is now Interstate 69E/U.S. Highways 77 and 83 southwestward to U.S. Highway 281. In 1973 it was extended eastward to its intersection with F.M.1847, and again extended eastward in 1979 to its intersection with F.M. 511. This is its current designation, although the portion west of F.M. 1847 was technically designated an Urban Road in 1995.[4]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Brownsville, Cameron County.
