The Good-Latimer Expressway is a street in central Dallas, Texas (USA). It begins in south Dallas as an exit off U.S. Highway 175 at US 175's western terminus at Interstate 45. The street runs in a north-northwest direction through south Dallas, the Cedars, the Farmers Market District of downtown, and finally through Deep Ellum. It becomes Routh Street as it passes out of Deep Ellum underneath Interstate 345 (the US 75/I-45 connection). It was part of U.S. Highway 75 until 1987, connecting the two freeway sections of the Central Expressway. From 1987 to 1991, when the portion between I-45 and I-345 was given to the city of Dallas, that segment was Spur 559. The expressway was named for former Mayor and Judge John Jay Good and James W. "Weck" Latimer, editor of the Dallas Herald, both citizens from Dallas' pioneer past.
