Route description
FM 1564 begins at an intersection with FM 36, approximately 1.75 mi (2.82 km) southwest of that route's junction IH 30.[2] The route travels eastward to an intersection with SH 34, with which it shares a brief concurrency of 0.7 mi (1.1 km). After separating from SH 34 and continuing to the east, the route crosses FM 2101, which provides access to Majors Airport to the north.[3] FM 1564 ends at a junction with US 69.[1]
