US Highway 283 marker

U.S. Route 283 (US 283) is a U.S. highway that begins in the state of Texas near Brady. The highway exits the state into Oklahoma just north of Vernon. US 283 runs through rural areas of the state, serving towns such as Coleman, Seymour, and Vernon. At a length of just 150 miles, US 283 is relatively short compared to other U.S. highways that travel through Texas.

US 283 begins at an intersection with US 87 about three miles northwest of Brady. The highway travels through rural areas of McCulloch County before entering Coleman County. US 283 maintains its rural route through Coleman County before entering the town of Santa Anna, beginning an overlap with US 84. The two highways travel northwest together to the town of Coleman before they split. US 283 returns to a rural route once again and intersects State Highway 36 in southern Callahan County. The highway runs through the town of Baird where it crosses Interstate 20. US 283 next enters the town of Albany and shares a short overlap with US 180/State Highway 6. Just south of Throckmorton the highway begins its lengthy overlap with US 183. The two highways travel to Seymour and begin an overlap with US 277 and US 82. US 183/283 leave US 82/277 in the town of Mabelle. US 183 leaves US 283 in Vernon at US 287/US 70. US 283 travels in a slight northwest direction and crosses over the Red River into Oklahoma.
