Route description

SH 3 begins at a surface intersection with IR 2, then runs north through Sharonville and Camden as a 4 lane divided highway. After an intersection with I-10, SH 3 narrows to one lane each way with a center turn lane through northern Camden. After leaving Camden, SH 3 narrows to a rural two lane highway until meeting SH 50 in State Line, where it returns to four lanes with a center turn lane through town. After leaving the city limits, the roadway narrows to two travel lanes with a center turn lane until crossing the Panamor River, where the turn lane ends. The highway continues as a rural two lane road through Bronson. The highway becomes a four lane divided highway through Rodgers. After leaving Rodgers, SH 3 becomes a scenic two lane highway, following the east bank of the Eustice River through Menger Canyon State Park. After passing through the canyon, SH 3 serves as the main road through Huntsville. After leaving Huntsville, SH 3 again becomes a scenic road clinging to the Eustice River through Eustice Valley State Park, where the highway meets its end at IR 277 near the Calahan state line.
