==History== ===Former route=== A previous route numbered SH 84 was designated on August 21, 1923, as a route across [[West Texas]] from the [[New Mexico]] state line through [[Brownfield, Texas|Brownfield]] and [[Post, Texas|Post]] to [[Jayton, Texas|Jayton]], replacing portions of [[Texas State Highway 18|SH 18]] and [[Texas State Highway 39|SH 39]].<ref>{{cite web |url = https://publicdocs.txdot.gov/minord/MinuteOrderDocLib/003676878.pdf |title = Minutes of the Seventy-Third and First Adjourned Meeting of the State Highway Commission |author = Texas State Highway Commission |date = August 21, 1923 |publisher = Texas State Highway Department |access-date = June 17, 2023 }}</ref> On December 1, 1930, the section from [[Clairemont, Texas|Clairemont]] to Jayton was transferred to [[Texas State Highway 70|SH 70]] when that highway was rerouted.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://publicdocs.txdot.gov/minord/MinuteOrderDocLib/003673799.pdf |title = Minutes of the One Hundred and Fiftieth Meeting of the State Highway Commission |author = Texas State Highway Commission |date = November 29, 1930 |publisher = Texas State Highway Department |access-date = June 17, 2023 }}</ref> In 1932, the route was co-located with [[U.S. Route 380|US Highway 380]] (US 380).

SH 84A was a spur route designated on May 25, 1925, from SH 84 in Clairemont to [[Rotan, Texas|Rotan]].<ref>{{cite web |url = https://publicdocs.txdot.gov/minord/MinuteOrderDocLib/003676907.pdf |title = Minutes of the Seventy-Fifth Meeting of the State Highway Commission |author = Texas State Highway Commission |date = May 25, 1925 |publisher = Texas State Highway Department |access-date = June 17, 2023}}</ref> On March 19, 1930, it was renumbered as SH 161 (now SH 70).
===Current route=== Construction of the Hachar-Reuthinger Road has been considered critical by the city of Laredo due to increasing truck traffic counts on the [[World Trade Bridge]].<ref name="Wallace2021">{{cite news|url=https://www.lmtonline.com/news/article/World-Trade-Bridge-to-reach-capacity-by-2030-15972468.php|title=World Trade Bridge to reach capacity by 2030|last=Wallace|first=Julia|work=Laredo Morning Times|date=February 23, 2021|access-date=June 29, 2023}}</ref> While the road has been proposed since 2014,<ref name="WaltersWallace2017">{{cite news|url=https://www.lmtonline.com/local/politics/article/City-s-business-with-Dannenbaum-on-hold-11128801.php|title=City of Laredo's business with Dannenbaum on hold after FBI raids|last1=Walters|first1=Taryn|last2=Wallace|first2=Julia|work=Laredo Morning Times|date=May 8, 2017|access-date=June 29, 2023}}</ref> progress was stalled in 2017.<ref name="Wallace2017">{{cite news|url=https://www.lmtonline.com/local/politics/article/Laredo-road-project-still-stalled-in-wake-of-12182838.php|title=Hachar Road project stalled again by Laredo city officials in wake of April FBI raids|last=Wallace|first=Julia|work=Laredo Morning Times|date=September 8, 2017|access-date=June 29, 2023}}</ref> In February 2023, the [[Texas Department of Transportation]] (TxDOT) assumed responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the corridor,<ref name="Mack2023">{{cite news|url=https://www.lmtonline.com/local/article/txdot-laredo-swap-control-hachar-reuthinger-san-17777670.php|title=TxDOT, Laredo swap responsibility of Hachar-Reuthinger and more|last=Mack|first=Jason|work=Laredo Morning Times|date=February 10, 2023|access-date=June 29, 2023}}</ref> and the SH 84 designation was applied to it on May 25, 2023.<ref name="MO 116846"/> Construction began in August 2024 and is estimated to conclude by Fall of 2026 or early 2027.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.kgns.tv/video/2024/08/08/txdot-completes-i-35-shiloh-project-starts-sh-84-project-laredo/ |title=TxDOT completes I-35 Shiloh Project and starts SH 84 project in Laredo |date=2024-08-08 |language=en |access-date=2025-08-11 |via=www.kgns.tv}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Ruiz |first=Maria |date=Aug 2, 2025 |title=Cuellar, TxDOT highlight expansion of Loop 59 and new SH 84 in Laredo |url=https://www.lmtonline.com/local/article/laredo-loop-59-sh84-construction-update-traffic-20792487.php |access-date=Aug 11, 2025 |website=lmtonline.com}}</ref>
