 An outer loop around Dallas County was first envisioned in 1964. In 1968, the Texas Highway Commission authorized an outer loop around Dallas and designated it as Loop 9. In 1976, a management audit of the State Department of Highway Public Transportation (SDHPT, now TxDOT) indicated a financial shortfall for highway improvements. In 1988, the cities of Garland, Rowlett, Mesquite, and Dallas County sponsored a study to extend SH 190 from SH 78 to IH 20. In 1991, SDHPT commissioned further study of SH 190 from SH 78 to IH 20 and recommended an alignment. In 2000, the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) began an updated/more detailed study that resulted in the alignment of the section from SH 78 to IH 30 that is currently under construction as a tollway. The planning and environmental studies for this the section from IH 30 to IH 20 are ongoing. This section will also be a tollway administered by NTTA. Multiple alignments are currently being evaluated by the Federal Highway.
