U.S. Highway 90

|
United States Highway 90 is an east-west United States highway. Despite the "0" in its route number, US 90 never was a full coast-to-coast route; it has always ended at Van Horn, Texas. A short-lived northward extension to Pine Springs, Texas lasted less than a year, and the signs on that segment were likely never changed.

Termini
As of 2004, the highway's eastern terminus is in Jacksonville Beach, Florida at an intersection with Florida State Road A1A three blocks from the Atlantic Ocean. Its western terminus is in Van Horn, Texas at an intersection with Interstate 10 and Texas State Highway 54. US 90 formerly terminated at its junction with US 80, however the western segments of that highway have been decommissioned in favor of Interstate 10 and Interstate 20.
Alternate routes
Alternate US 90 in Texas has an eastern terminus in Houston. It rejoins US 90 in Seguin, near San Antonio. While the main line of US 90 parallels Interstate 10, passing through Luling, Alternate US 90 veers to the south to serve Gonzales, Hallettsville, Rosenberg and Sugar Land. From there, the route parallels US 59 towards Houston, where Alternate US 90 is a major arterial route.
