Route description

FM 3005 has a western terminus at the approach to the toll bridge over San Luis Pass; the bridge connects to the Bluewater Highway on the Brazoria County side. It travels to the northeast along Termini–San Luis Pass Road, through Galveston, crossing Galveston Island State Park and passing Scholes International Airport before entering the Galveston central business district. Beginning near Cove View Boulevard, the route is signed as Seawall Boulevard, as it runs alongside the Galveston Seawall. The FM 3005 designation ends at Spur 342, which provides access to Interstate 45. Seawall Boulevard continues under county maintenance to SH 87 on the eastern side of the island.

History

FM 3005 was first designated in Galveston County in 1966; its western terminus was at 13 Mile Road. The route was lengthened to the boundary of Galveston Island State Park in 1972, and through the park and to the San Luis Pass Toll Bridge in 1988. The designation was officially changed to Urban Road 3005 in 1995; as is the case with other urban roads, TxDOT continues to sign the route using the "Farm Road" shield.
