History

Loop 124 was designated in 1941 along the former alignment of SH 64 through Tyler. It was originally designated from the intersection of SH 64 (Dallas Highway) and US 69 (Glenwood Boulevard) east along Erwin Street. It followed Erwin Street until the intersection with Old Henderson Highway which Loop 124 would follow to its current eastern terminus at SH 64. In 1962, the portion west of SH 31 was removed and turned over to the city of Tyler for maintenance.
