U.S. Highway 81
United States Highway 81 is a north-south United States highway. The original 1926 highway was a border-to-border route, but decommissioning in the 1990s brought the southern end from Laredo, Texas to Fort Worth.

The northernmost 15 miles (24 km) of US 81 are co-signed with Interstate 29. Its southern terminus is in Saginaw, Texas, just north of Fort Worth, Texas, at an intersection with Interstate 35W.
