Farm to Market Road 410 (FM 410) is a 53-mile-long (85 km) route located in Red River County. The two-lane road mainly travels through rural, barren lands of northeastern Texas except where it passes through the city of Detroit. It begins in the southwestern corner of the county at FM 196. It travels north coming to a 180-foot (55 m) concurrency with US 271 between Deport and Bogata. FM 410 continues north intersecting some local and other farm to market roads before it enters Detroit. Through this city, FM 410 carries the name 1st Street and also intersects US 82. Near the northern city limits, the road passes the Detroit High School. The road continues north forming a 380-foot (116 m) with FM 195 before FM 410 continues north towards the Red River. As it approaches the river and the Oklahoma border, FM 410 begins to curve to the east and later towards the southeast. The highway ends at FM 195 near the community of Blakeney.[22]
When the road was created on June 22, 1945, the road only traveled from US 82 in Detroit to Kanawha, north of Woodland. The road would be extended five miles (8.0 km) south from Detroit on May 23, 1951, before being extended north and south on December 18 of the same year. The road extended south 3.3 miles (5.3 km) to FM 411 near Fulbright and north 7.4 miles (11.9 km) miles to West Scrap (now known as Kiomatia). After taking over the north-south section of FM 411 from Fulbright to US 271 on January 16, 1953, the road was extended further south to Morris Chapel on October 26, 1954. On May 2, 1962, FM 410 was extended from West Scrap to FM 862 (12.0 miles (19.3 km)). On May 24, 1962, the road was extended to the easternmost intersection with FM 195, replacing FM 862 (3.1 miles (5.0 km)). The final extension occurred in September 1968 when its southern terminus was moved 4.4 miles (7.1 km) to the south and west to end at FM 196.[21]

FM 436 was created on June 11, 1945, to run from Belton to Little River (the former name of Little River-Academy). There were two extensions of the road on September 9, 1948, when it was brought east of Little River to SH 95 and on October 26, 1949, upon slight realignments at both ends. On December 18, 1951, the road was brought to its current length when it was extended to what was then US 190 in Heidenheimer. On June 27, 1995, the section of FM 436 west of Loop 121 was redesignated Urban Road 436 (UR 436).[87][85] The designation of this section reverted to FM 436 with the elimination of the Urban Road system on November 15, 2018.[46]

Farm to Market Road 450 (FM 450) is a 30.6-mile-long (49.2 km) route that runs through Harrison, Marion, and Upshur counties in northeastern Texas. It begins in western Harrison County at the intersection of FM 968 and FM 2625 (the latter also ends here) and travels north towards Hallsville. Before reaching the city limits, FM 450 interchanges I-20 at its exit 604. Heading north into Hallsville, it intersects US 80 in the center of the city. North of there, the road travels through a winding route through ranches and woodlands. At Carterville, FM 450 forms a concurrency with FM 449 and FM 2208. The FM 449 concurrency is about 0.1-mile-long (0.16 km) while the FM 2208 concurrency is much longer. The two highways cross the Little Cypress Bayou. Before reaching Harleton, FM 2208 breaks off the concurrency towards the east while FM 450 continues into the community where it reaches SH 154.[121]
In Harleton, FM 450 and SH 154 together head west for 0.2 miles (0.32 km) until FM 450 breaks off to head northwest. This section of the road passes through wooded areas in northwestern Harrison County. The road forms a concurrency with FM 726 just south of the Lake O' the Pines. FM 726 provides access to the southern shoreline of the lake. FM 450 continues northwest where it briefly enters Marion County. Most of the roads that intersect FM 450 provide access to a small community on the lake's western shore. FM 450 heads into Upshur County and shortly thereafter the city of Ore City. The highway ends at an intersection with US 259 and FM 1649.[121]
FM 450 was designated on June 11, 1945, running as a road connecting Harleton to Smyrna, a small settlement located south of the modern-day FM 726 intersection. On November 23, 1948, the road was extended south to Hallsville bringing the length to 13.4 miles (21.6 km). On July 15, 1949, the road was brought north to Ore City partially via what had been Spur 162. The last extension occurred on October 15, 1954, when FM 450 was routed south of Hallsville and assumed its current length.[120] By 2016, FM 450 was rerouted north of FM 449 to go via a more straight path.[122]

The highway begins at an intersection with SH 35 in the eastern reaches of Bay City and travels east. In the area of Caney, it passes near the Bay City Municipal Airport and intersects FM 2540. It continues east but begins to curve towards the southeast in Cedar Lane where FM 457 then intersects FM 521. After passing Gainesmore, Hawkinsville, and FM 2611 at its western terminus, FM 457 passes through the community of Sargent, crosses the Sargent Swing Bridge, a pontoon-style swing bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway,[138] and ends on the Matagorda Peninsula not far from a beach on the Gulf of Mexico. The entire highway is also known as the Sergeant Joe Parks, Jr. Memorial Highway.[139]
The highway was created on June 25, 1945, running from Bay City to Gainesmore. On March 20, 1946, the highway was extended to southeast of Sargent bringing the total mileage of the road to 25.8 miles (41.5 km). On December 17, 1952, FM 457 was further extended southeast to the Gulf of Mexico taking over what had been State Highway 330. SH 330 was a 0.1-mile-long (160 m) highway that existed from May 1940 until its absorption by FM 457 and only consisting of the bridge (constructed as a wooden swing bridge at the time) over the Intracoastal Waterway.[140][137]
TxDOT is currently in the process of replacing the swing bridge, the last in the entire state, with a fixed concrete span with helix roads on both ends to allow for clearance over the canal. The process to begin the replacement began in September 2013 and completion is expected in 2020.[141][142]
