Spur 408 is a four-mile connecting freeway between Loop 12 and Interstate 20, completely within the city of Dallas, Texas.
The freeway passes through a generally undeveloped area of Dallas; there are no businesses located anywhere on the route that can provide services to motorists.
It is officially designated as "Patriot Parkway" since it passes along the eastern side of the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery; however, it is locally referred to as Spur 408. Spur 408 also passes near Dallas Baptist University and The Potters' House, the megachurch pastored by T.D. Jakes.
South of Interstate 20, Spur 408 connects with Clark Road, a local thoroughfare. I-20 traffic can enter Spur 408 but cannot access Clark Road.
On December 12, 2007, the Dallas City Council and the Texas Department of Transportation entered an agreement to install lighting on Spur 408 at a cost of $2.5 million. [Dallas City Council Agenda - December 12, 2007 http://www.dallascityhall.com/council_briefings/agendas/agendas_1207/Final_Agenda_12052007.pdf] TxDOT will cover the cost of construction, and the City of Dallas will cover the cost of maintenance and electricity. An increase in the number of cars using the highway daily, as well as the number of accidents were cited as reasons for the lighting.
