next_route=303State Highway 302 is a state highway that runs between Mentone and Odessa in far west Texas. The route was designated in 1939 between Kermit and Odessa. It absorbed SH 276, which ran from US 285 to Mentone in 1953. The 30 mile gap between these two sections was finally connected in 1990, replacing FM 1211.
