Farm to Market Road 1495 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas.

Route Description

FM 1495, not to be confused with FM 1459, which is in the same county, begins FM 523 south of the Dow Chemical plants. Taking a southeast-to-south route, the highway crosses the old Brazos River, passing the Storm Surge Lock to the west of the bridge. Becoming navigation Boulevard, FM 1495 continues through the East End of Freeport, passing the Port of Freeport and intersecting with SH 36 and SH 288 (the concurrent highways end at FM 1459). Then making a turn to the southeast, the highway crosses the Intracoastal Waterway, giving drivers a spectacular view of the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. The road's terminus is at the end of the bridge with a four-way stop at County Road 723, Quintana's main road. Continuing past the stop sign will take you onto Freeport/Bryan Beach.

Quintana Swing Bridge

FM 1495 once crossed the Intracoastal Waterway via a swing bridge. The bridge was recently replaced due to concerns of Hurricane Evacuation and Emergency Personnel.
