State Highway 176 (SH 176) is a Texas state highway running from the New Mexico state line east to Big Spring. It is most commonly known as the Andrews Highway.
SH 176 was originally designated in 1932 as a connector route between Tyler and Kilgore. On September 26, 1939, this route had been reassigned to SH 31 when its path was shifted south.
The current routing was first cosigned, but not designated, on September 29, 1953 concurrent with RM 87. On August 29, 1990 this route was officially designated, canceling RM 87.
