Farm to Market Road 511 or FM 511 is a road that runs from Farm to Market Road 3248 on the northeast side of Brownsville southeast and southward to the southern sections of Brownsville. The highway forms an outer loop/bypass of the main portion of Brownsville. This highway is known locally and is signed as the Senator Eddie Lucio Jr. Highway. The highway formerly extended northeast to US Routes 77 and 83 at Olmito, but this portion was expanded starting in 2008 and was transferred to State Highway 550. The section from Farm to Market 3248 south to State Highway 48 was a part of this expansion, becoming a four lane highway with center turning lane. This project began in January 2008 and was completed late in 2010.

For Christ’s sake not black—
nor white either—and not polished!
Let it be weathered—like a farm wagon—”

“the old palaces, the wallets of the tourists,
the Common Market or the smart cafés,
the boulevards in the graceful evening,
the cliff-hangers, the scientists,
and the little shops raising their prices
mean nothing to me.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Since the war nothing is so really frightening not the dark not alone in a room or anything on a road or a dog or a moon but two things, yes, indigestion and high places they are frightening.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
