History
SH 57 was originally designated on August 21, 1923, on a route along the Gulf Coast from Rockport to Gregory, replacing part of SH 12, which was relocated to the west.[5] On March 19, 1928, the route was extended to east of Blessing.[6] On April 25, 1929, a section from Corpus Christi to Chapman Ranch was added.[7] On March 19, 1930, the section from Corpus Christi to Chapman Ranch became part of SH 96. On October 21, 1930, SH 57 was rerouted to end in Palacios.[8] On April 10, 1934, this route was cancelled, as it became part of SH 35.[9][10]
The SH 57 designation was once again used beginning on August 5, 1966, on a route from Eagle Pass to near Moore, as a renumbering of SH 76 and to coincide with Mexican Federal Highway 57. This route would be renumbered US 57 on August 31, 1970.[1]
The current SH 57 was designated on February 21, 1994.[1] There are plans for the highway to be extended west to connect with Segment 3 of the under construction Loop 49.[citation needed]
