US 84 enters into Texas at
Farwell, concurrent with
US 70 from New Mexico. The US 70 overlap ends in
Muleshoe. US 84 bypasses the towns of
Littlefield and
Shallowater before entering
Lubbock. The highway just passes north of the
Texas Tech University campus and enters downtown as Avenue Q. As Avenue Q, the highway parallels
I-27 before crossing it, just north of that highway's southern terminus. Leaving the city, US 84 serves the towns of
Post and
Snyder before reaching
Roscoe, where it begins its overlap with
I-20. The two highways run through
Sweetwater before reaching
Abilene. US 84 leaves the interstate on the western side of the city, running with I-20's business loop. US 84 joins
US 83/
US 277 (Winters Freeway), with US 277 leaving the concurrency after a short distance. US 84 leaves US 83, northeast of
Tuscola. US 84 runs southeast to
Coleman, overlapping with
US 283 in the process and joining
US 67. After leaving
Brownwood, US 84 leaves US 67 and joins
US 183. US 84 becomes a solo route again in
Goldthwaite, traveling through
Gatesville. In Gatesville, the hwy meets
SH 36, which coincidentally also runs to Abilene, albeit in a more direct way than US 84. East of
McGregor, US 84 becomes a 4-lane divided highway before becoming a freeway in
Woodway. At
SH 6, US 84 becomes a surface street, running through
Waco. The highway crosses the
Brazos River and enters
Bellmead before leaving the Waco area to the northeast/east. The highway cross
I-45 in
Fairfield, and crosses the
Trinity River just before arriving in
Palestine. US 84 runs through several smaller communities in East Texas before meeting
US 59 (future
I-69) in
Timpson and follows that highway to
Tenaha. It continues due east and crosses over the
Toledo Bend Reservoir/
Sabine River, into
Louisiana, at
Logansport, in the area where that river starts to form the Texas/Louisiana state border. US 84 is part of the
El Camino East/West Corridor, which spans five states starting in Texas. ==Future==
