There are currently nine business routes of U.S. Highway 287 in Texas that are designated and maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The business routes in the US state of Texas are traditionally short spurs or loops that connect the main route, in this case, U.S. Highway 287 (US 287), to the center or commercial district of a city. The routes commonly follow the course of an decommissioned state highway, or the old course of the main route. Business routes are signed with the traditional US 287 highway shield, and with a small "business plate" placed above the marker. TxDOT regards business routes as official highways, and is responsible for the maintenance of the route.
As of 2010, there are nine official business routes of US 287. There are also two cancelled business routes, both of which were located in Amarillo. Of the nine routes, seven of them are located in Northeast Texas.
Business U.S. Highway 287-V (BUS US 287-V) is a short loop business route located almost entirely inside the city limits of Grapeland. The 3.019-mile-long (4.859 km) highway is known as Main Street. The road passes directly through the center of Grapeland. The route was designated on January 20, 1977 as Texas State Highway Loop 531, but was changed to the current business route designation on September 26, 2003.
The entire route is in Houston County.
