Encyclopedia
State Highway 152 is a state highway
running through west-central Oklahoma
. At a length of 149.6 miles (240.76 km), it is the longest three-digit state highway in Oklahoma. It runs from State Highway 152 at the Texas State Line to Interstate 44 near Will Rogers World Airport
in Oklahoma City
. It has no lettered spur routes.
. It runs just north of the county line, crossing State Highway 30
, and continues east until it meets SH-6
's northern terminus, where it turns toward the southeast, entering Beckham Co.
. It straightens out to head through Sayre
running east–west, where it meets both U.S. Highway 283 and Interstate 40. Six miles later it crosses State Highway 34
and six miles (10 km) after that it meets SH-6
again.
SH-152 then crosses into Washita County
and intersects State Highway 44 and 42
. It then meets US-183 in a roundabout
in Cordell. East of Cordell, it has a 7 miles (11.3 km) concurrency
with the northern State Highway 54 and, after it splits off, it intersects State Highway 115.
Right after entering Caddo County
, it has a 2 miles (3.2 km) concurrency with State Highway 58, and then it meets State Highway 146
near Binger
. At Binger, it begins to overlap U.S. Highway 281 and SH-8
. It splits off on its own again five miles (8 km) later. 9 miles (14.5 km) later, it meets the western State Highway 37
at Cogar
, which it then overlaps for 11 miles (17.7 km). (Located at this intersection is an abandoned Apco station, which was used in a scene from the movie "Rain Man"). North of Minco
, it meets US-81. At this T-intersection, SH-37 heads south and SH-152 heads north.
After crossing the Canadian River
into Canadian County
, SH-152 splits off from US-81 in Union City
. It passes the southern terminus of State Highway 92 in Mustang
. In downtown Mustang, it overlaps SH-4
.
In Oklahoma County
, it heads northeast to connect to the Airport Road freeway, which provides access to Will Rogers World Airport
, the main airport for Oklahoma City
and most of central Oklahoma. SH-152 then ends at Interstate 44.
The first addition of any part of what is now SH-152 to the state highway system occurred between May 1, 1926 and November 1, 1927. Sometime between these dates, State Highway 41 was commissioned to run between US-66 in Sayre and SH-2 (now US-81) near Minco. Highway 41 followed this routing until the mid-1930s, when SH-41 was extended to Oklahoma City. The extension occurred sometime between August 1933 and October 1935. SH-41's eastern terminus now fell at the intersection with US-62/277. The current western terminus was established between April 1938 and April 1939, when the highway was extended west from Sayre, through Sweetwater, to the Texas state line, where it connected to Texas's SH-152.
On December 6, 1954, SH-41 in its entirety was renumbered to SH-152. This change was done to continue the numbering of TX-152, which connects to the highway at the Texas–Oklahoma state line.
US-62 was moved to the Will Rogers Expressway (present day I-44 south of I-240) on September 4, 1963. SH-152 was extended over former US-62/277 to end at the intersection of S.W. 29th Street and May Avenue in Oklahoma City. At the time, this intersection carried SH-3 and SH-74. On March 5, 1979, the eastern terminus was pushed back a half-mile west, to the intersection of Interstate 44 and S.W. 29th.
The most recent alteration to SH-152 came on February 2, 2004. On this date, SH-152 was removed from Newcastle Boulevard and placed on the newly-extended Airport Road freeway. The freeway previously carried no numbered route designation. This placed the highway's eastern terminus at its current location, and no changes have been made since.
