Course
SH 4 serves as a connection between Brownsville and the Boca Chica area at the Gulf of Mexico with its entire course running parallel with Mexico to the south. It begins at an interchange with the southern terminus of Interstate 69E, US 77, and US 83 in the city and follows International Boulevard. It continues northeast until intersecting with SH 48 at Boca Chica Boulevard. The highway turns east onto Boca Chica Boulevard and exits Brownsville near the southern side of the Brownsville Port. It also passes by the historic site of the Battle of Palmito Ranch, the site of the final battle of the American Civil War. SH 4 roughly parallels the Rio Grande to the south as it continues east pass Boca Chica Village and the South Texas Launch Site at the SpaceX Starbase. A Taylor construction site is passed before the highway approaches its eastern terminus at the coast of the Gulf of Mexico at Boca Chica Beach; here, a rest stop is also presented.
