SH 44 in Corpus Christi
State Highway 358 or SH 358 is a Texas state highway that runs along the southern edge of Corpus Christi. The route was designated in 1946 from SH 286 to the Naval Air Station, replacing FM 693. It was extended northwest to Interstate 37 in 1958, replacing FM 891. It is also known as Padre Island Drive with both North and South sections. Known to the locals as "N.P.I.D." and "S.P.I.D.", the dividing line is commonly believed to be Texas State Highway 286. The official division is FM 665 (Old Brownsville Road).
The section of the highway from SH 286 east to Corpus Christi Naval Air Station was originally designated as FM 693 in June 1946. In September of that same year, it was redesignated to SH 358. The section from SH 286 northward to I-37 (SH 9 at the time) was originally designated as Farm to Market Road 891 in 1948 and was combined with the current route in 1958.
SH 358 is located in Corpus Christi in Nueces County and begins at I-37 near Nueces Bay and ends at the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station on the south side of Corpus Christi Bay. SH 358 is a freeway that follows Padre Island Drive and provides access to Padre and Mustang Islands by way of Park Road 22 (PR 22).
