Impact from future lake
Plans have been in the works for many years for a new lake, Lake Columbia, to be built along Mud Creek, which FM 2064 crosses. In advance of construction, a new Minute Order was commissioned in 2005, to reduce the mileage of FM 2064 to 5.6 miles (9 km). This change will affect the road by splitting it in two, and its intersections with FM 2750, as well as the current southern terminus at TX 135 in Tecula, neither of which will connect to FM 2064 after the lake is completed. A new Farm to Market Road designation, FM 3540Farm to Market Road 3540
