Texarkana I-30 West to HWY 19 South to Canton, TX road report and physical conditions of road.

[WandaRoads1995]

The I-30 West route from Texarkana, TX to HWY 19 South was mostly smooth with only a few unsavory bumps and patch jobs until we reached Silver Springs where the road became quite rumbly and loud, this however only lasted for less than a quarter of a mile. Turning onto HWY 19 South it became apparent that it was under construction and a new road is being put in, which was not noted by Google maps. This HWY is two lanes but the lanes were not extremely tight, though with wider loads coming towards you it's best to stay vigilant and focused on this stretch. This stretch of road became quite hilly which is undesirable for my RV, these hills block your view and you won't know if a wide load is coming your way or not. This road was fairly straight and reasonably smooth. Overall I did not face any damage on this route and I would take it again, though HWY 19 South to Canton, TX was not favorable.

Once on I-20, an alternate to 19 may be 1255 if you're coming in from the east. It's been a long time since I've been there, but it is probably still only 2 lane. But last I was on it, it was nice, with decent shoulders for your "wide loads". It is also more scenic/rustic. Next up would be 17, but I don't know about it.

Have fun at First Monday (I assume you might be going there for that??)

Go south on US 271 at Mt Pleasant. 4 lanes to I20 except for a few miles south of Gladewater then it goes back to 4 lanes.
Takeing 271, You could take 155 at Gilmer to Big Sandy then US 80 to 19
