State Highway 290 or SH 290 is a state highway maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) that runs from Interstate 10 near Sheffield east to another connection with I-10 about 20 miles (32 km) east of Sheffield. The 24.5-mile (39.4 km) route was designated in 1992 as a replacement for U.S. Route 290 when it was shortened to end near Junction. The route connects I-10 to Sheffield and Fort Lancaster State Historic Site and overlays a portion of SH 349.
SH 290 was the former designation for a portion of SH 114 between the New Mexico state line and Lubbock.
SH 290 was originally designated as a route from the New Mexico state line east through Morton and Levelland to Lubbock in Cochran, Hockley, and Lubbock counties that was created in 1939. The route had been previously numbered as SH 134 beginning sometime between 1926 and 1928 until the route was renumbered as SH 24 before 1933. The SH 290 designation was dropped in 1955 when the route became SH 116. In 1978, the SH 116 designation was canceled, and the route became an extension of SH 114.
