Farm to Market Road 2347, FM 2347, or George Bush Drive (formerly Jersey Street) is a Farm to Market Road in Texas, running from Easterwood Airport northeastward to Business SH 6-R in College Station. This route runs along the southern border of the Texas A&M University main campus and is the location for the George Bush Presidential Library. This route was formed in 1967.
Route description
FM 2347 begins at the Easterwood Airport on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, Brazos County, heading east on two-lane undivided George Bush Drive West. The road curves northeast and intersects FM 2818, at which point it becomes a four-lane divided highway. The highway heads through areas of fields and trees, passing to the southeast of the George Bush Presidential Library. FM 2347 continues through more of the campus, running to the southeast of the university's sports fields. After passing near Olsen Field, the road crosses a Union Pacific railroad line and crosses FM 2154. The highway becomes George Bush Drive and runs between Texas A&M University to the northwest and residential neighborhoods to the southeast. FM 2347 passes southeast of the University Golf Course and comes to its terminus at Business SH 6-R.[1][2][3]
History
FM 2347 was originally designated in 1955 as a route from US 190 (now FM 485) at Maysfield to a road intersection. It was extended in 1958 to Jones Prairie and extended again in 1961 to FM 2027 at Cross Roads. In 1966, this route was cancelled and combined with FM 979. The current FM 2347 was designated onto its current alignment in 1967. In 1995, the road officially became UR 2347.[1]
