NorthSouthern Terminus: I-44/OK-66/OK-3, Oklahoma City
Northern Terminus: US-77, Perry
|
no 'End' shield at this terminus, but
as the BGS gantry at left shows, the highway doesn't exit here, and the
assurance signs don't show 74 as continuing, so I guess it ends here. |
Northern Terminus: US-77, Perry
As with the south end, there is no 'End' sign at this
terminus.
Sidebar: The two OK-74's were connected as recently as the early 70s. My 1972 road map shows 74 coming into OKC along May Ave., becoming duplexed with OK-3 at the Northwest Expressway, turning east at 29th St, then south along Western (where the duplexing with OK-3 ended), then along Robinson in Norman until it reaches I-35, where it traveled along the interstate until it crossed the South Canadian River, and left I-35 at Goldsby, where the southern portion of OK-74 now begins.
