Minute Order 114382, dated 09/24/2015
Minute Order 115785, dated 6/25/2020

Minute Order 114382 extended SH 249 on the state highway system from FM 1774 at FM 149 near the unincorporated community of Pinehurst in Montgomery County, northwestward to SH 105 near the unincorporated community of Stoneham, a distance of approximately 24.4 miles^a. (Grimes, Montgomery Counties)

Minute Order 115785 amended Minute Order 114382 as follows:

Existing SH 249 (all lanes) was redesignated as FM 1774 from FM 149 southeastward to the intersection of new SH 249^b. Existing SH 249 (frontage only) was redesignated as FM 1774 from the intersection of new SH 249 southeastward to the intersection of Woodtrace Boulevard, a total combined distance of approximately 1.6 miles for this and the above redesignated segments^b.

The description of the extension of SH 249 under Minute Order 114382 was amended as follows:

SH 249 was extended from Woodtrace Boulevard northwestward to SH 105 near the unincorporated community of Stoneham, including only the main lanes from Woodtrace Boulevard to the intersection of FM 1774, and all lanes from FM 1774 to SH 105. However, the main lanes from Woodtrace Boulevard to FM 1774 were already designated as SH 249 prior to Minute Order 114382, and so this amended description does not actually alter the extension for Highway Designation File purposes.

(Grimes, Montgomery Counties)

• a - Extension: On New Location
• b - Redesignation (Partial Route)
