The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) maintains a spatial dataset of roadway polylines for planning and asset inventory purposes, as well as for visualization and general mapping. This dataset covers the state of Texas and includes on-system routes (those that TxDOT maintains), such as interstate highways, U.S. highways, state highways, and farm and ranch roads, as well as off-system routes, such as county roads and local streets. Route segments in this version of TxDOT Roadways are broken by functional classification. For an unsegmented version of TxDOT Roadways, see TxDOT Roadways Unsegmented.This data contains measures. Measures are stored as M-values within each vertex along the line, in the same way that some datasets store z-values for the elevation, except that measures store the distance from the origin, or DFO, along the line. M-enabled networks serve as frameworks for locating roadway assets along the network using linear referencing. This data set must be downloaded as a file geodatabase in order to keep M-Values intact. If downloaded as a shapefile or added to a map from a connection to ArcGIS online, measures will not be applied to the line.Update Frequency: MonthlySource: Geospatial Roadway Inventory Database (GRID)Security Level: Public
The TxDOT Roadway Inventory 2018 layer is a statewide dataset that has attribute information routed to TxDOT Roadway linework. By using linear referencing tools, attribute information from the TxDOT Roadway Inventory table are located on the linework. Roadway attributes such as functional system, traffic counts, surface types among many others can be found on a roadway simply by selecting it or performing a query. The TxDOT Roadway Inventory layer can also be found on www.TxDOT.gov and TxDOT’s Open Portal.

This resource contains statewide networks of roadways, railroads, bridges, and low water crossings, for Texas only.
Roadways detail: The Transportation Planning and Programming (TPP) Division of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) maintains a spatial dataset of roadway polylines for planning and asset inventory purposes, as well as for visualization and general mapping. M values are stored in the lines as DFOs (Distance From Origin), and provide the framework for managing roadway assets using linear referencing. This dataset covers the state of Texas and includes on-systems routes (those that TxDOT maintains), such as interstate highways, U.S. highways, state highways, and farm and ranch roads, as well as off-system routes, such as county roads and local streets. Date valid as of: 12/31/2014. Publish Date: 05/01/2015. Update Frequency: Quarterly.
Bridges detail: As with the roadways, both on-system and off-system bridges are maintained in separate datasets (54,844 total bridges, 36,007 on-system and 18,837 off-system). Bridges have numerous useful attributes, see coding guide [1] for documentation. One such attribute identifies structures that cross water: the second digit of Item 42 “Type of Service”. If the second digit is between 5 and 9 (inclusive) then the structure is over water. The bridges datasets are valid as of December 2016.
The roadways and bridges datasets contained here were obtained directly from TxDOT through personal correspondence. An alternate resource that is more open is the Texas Natural Resources Information System (TNRIS) [2]. The railroads and low-water crossings were obtained through TNRIS.
