"U.S. Highway 96 (US 96) is a north\u2013south United States Numbered Highway that runs for about 117.11 miles (188.47 km) wholly within the state of Texas. Its number is a violation of the standard numbering convention, as even-numbered two-digit highways are east\u2013west routes by rule. As of 2004, the highway's southern terminus (as well as those of US 287 and US 69) is in Port Arthur at an intersection with State Highway 87 (SH 87)."@en . "1939-09-26Z"^^ . .
