Route description
SH 95 runs northward from Alt. US 77 at the northern edge of Yoakum. It travels through Shiner (crossing Alt. US 90), Moulton, Flatonia (intersecting US 90 and Interstate 10), Smithville, Bastrop, Elgin (meeting US 290), and Taylor (crossing US 79) before ending at US 190 in Temple.
The portion of SH 95 from SH 71 to US 290 has been designated part of the 10th Mountain Division Highway.
History
The route was designated in 1926 along a route from Taylor to Elgin, absorbing SH 2F. The grading and drainage structure for nine miles of the highway starting eight miles south of Elgin, near Sayersville, to Bastrop began in 1939. The road had already been improved from Elgin to Sayersville and this completed the connection to Bastop. The Works Progress Administration funded the $109,000 relief project.
