PICTURES OF THE WEEK IV

Week of August 17, 2003: A very multi-directional picture: eastern I-244 northbound in western Tulsa, before the Southwest Blvd exit, shortly after its duplexing with US-75. This Dynamic Sign went active a few days earlier, the first time I have ever seen one of these message boards, in either Tulsa or Oklahoma City, with an actual message on it. The empty partial gantry in the background in the one that used to contain the Southwest Blvd BGS.

Week of August 24, 2003: Boise City, just east of the Cimarron County Court House. The only signed quintaplex highway in the state. Based on the varying sizes of the shields and the numbers on them, it appears the five highway signs were created at four different times. Only the US 64 & US 412 shields appear to have been made simultaneously

Week of August 31, 2003: Boise City, about a mile east of last week's POTW, along the same quintaplexed highway. Not a large sign, but based on the fontage still officially a Big Green Sign, the northwesternmost one in the state.

Week of September 7, 2003: I-44 Exit 240A eastbound at the Tulsa-Rogers-Wagoner County convergence point. This exit is for 193rd E. Avenue. Turning left at the end of the off-ramp puts you on OK-167, heading towards the Port of Catoosa. The overhead BGS for this exit was removed to make room for a special assurance sign: I-44 used to follow OK-66, and Exit 241 (actually it was 240B) followed US-412. The rerouting of this end of the Will Rogers Turnpike caused I-44 to follow US-412 a little bit longer, and made OK-66 the exit.

Week of September 14, 2003: Western terminus of OK-37, at OK-8/US-281 in Hinton. This picture was taken Sunday, September 7th at exactly 7pm, and marked the last picture I had to take for the Oklahoma State Highway terminus page. Every SH endpoint in the state has now been photographed, and I hope to get all the pages up before this site's first anniversary in November.

All pictures are property of me, Martin McMahon, but you are free to use them elsewhere if you wish, all I insist on is proper credit be given to the true photographer, and that the pictures are not being included in a for-profit publication without prior permission.
