'''Loop 275''' is a {{convert|9.454|mi|km|adj=on}}, two-segment, state-maintained roadway located in [Austin, Texas](/source/Austin%2C_Texas).

== History ==
Loop&nbsp;275 was originally formed on March 24, 1954, when US&nbsp;81 was realigned to form the Interregional Highway, which would later form the initial alignment for [Interstate&nbsp;35](/source/Interstate_35_in_Texas) (I-35). The route was also signed as US&nbsp;81 Business. On February 25, 1975, Loop&nbsp;275 was no longer planned to be US&nbsp;81 Business.<ref name="TX LOOP 275"/>

At that time, Loop 275 followed [Lamar Boulevard](/source/Lamar_Boulevard) to what is now the Triangle neighborhood, where Guadalupe Street West splits from Lamar at the Y-intersection. From there, it followed Guadalupe Street and 1st Street (now Cesar Chavez Street) over to [Congress Avenue](/source/Congress_Avenue), where it crossed the [Colorado River](/source/Colorado_River_(Texas)) at the [Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge](/source/Ann_W._Richards_Congress_Avenue_Bridge) and then continued south to eventually rejoin I-35 in what is now the Southpark Meadows neighborhood.

Lamar Boulevard and Congress Avenue are main [arterial road](/source/arterial_road)s through Austin, and on July 11, 1986, maintenance of the central segments of those roads (from US&nbsp;183 to US&nbsp;290) was returned to the city of Austin at its request. This resulted in the two-segment configuration of Loop&nbsp;275 seen today. On February 24, 2000, the section of Loop&nbsp;275 from US&nbsp;290 to Williamson Creek was returned to the city of Austin at its request.

== Route description ==

As currently configured, Loop 275 consists of two non-connected segments. The {{convert|6.0|mi|km|adj=on}} northern segment starts at an interchange with [US 183](/source/U.S._Highway_183_(Texas)), just west of Interstate 35. It proceeds north along Lamar Boulevard, passing [FM 734](/source/Farm_to_Market_Road_734), before terminating at the southbound [frontage road](/source/frontage_road) of Interstate 35, just south of Howard Lane (Exit 246).

The {{convert|3.2|mi|km|adj=on}} southern segment starts at an intersection with Slaughter Lane just west of Interstate 35 (Exit 227). It proceeds north along South Congress Avenue to its terminus at [Williamson Creek](/source/Williamson_Creek) south of [US 290](/source/U.S._Highway_290_(Texas)).
