Route Overview
- McAllen → US-83 N through Rio Grande Valley (Harlingen, Weslaco).
- Continue through ranch country (Hebbronville, Freer).
- Junction I-35 N briefly at Catarina? Actually US-83 merges with I-35 near Laredo? Wait—US-83 goes north from McAllen to Laredo? No, US-83 goes west from McAllen to Rio Grande City, then north? Let's check: US-83 runs from Brownsville to Laredo? Actually US-83 goes from Brownsville up through McAllen, then northwest to Laredo? No, US-83 goes from Brownsville to Laredo via McAllen? I'm confusing. Better to give general route: US-83 N to I-35 N to I-10 W? Or US-83 N to US-277 N to I-10 W? The exact route isn't critical—just the distance/time.
Alternative: US-83 N → I-35 N (at Laredo? No, US-83 meets I-35 at Laredo? Actually I-35 ends at Laredo. US-83 continues north from Laredo? Let's simplify.)
Main route: US-83 North to I-10 West (junction near Junction, TX).
