Ranch to Market Road 2243 (RM 2243) is a 8.112 mi (13.055 km) ranch to market road in Williamson County, Texas.[1]

Route description

RM 2243 begins in Leander, at an intersection with US 183.[2] It travels to the east along South Street, crossing the current 183A Toll Road along its current non-controlled-access northern stub. RM 2243 then crosses the Ronald Reagan Boulevard arterial, which provides access to FM 734 and RM 1431 in Cedar Park to the south and to SH 29 to the north. Farther east, the route enters Georgetown, where it is known as Leander Drive, and has a junction with IH 35 at its Exit #260. The RM 2243 designation ends at South Austin Avenue (the former IH 35 Business, now designated Spur 26).[3] The roadway continues as FM 1460.[1][4]

History

Farm to Market Road 2243 (FM 2243) was first designated in 1954, connecting US 183 in Leander to US 81 (later replaced by IH 35 Business) in Georgetown. A westward extension of about 4.4 mi (7.1 km), from US 183 to Travis County, was added in 1966; that same year, the route was reinventoried by TxDOT as an RM. The segment west of US 183 was removed from the state highway system and returned to the city of Leander's jurisdiction in 2003.[1]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Williamson County.
