Highway History:
At one time, the two OK 2's were connected. From the northern terminus of
today's southern OK 2 at U.S. 64 in Warner, OK 2 was duplexed with U.S. 64 to
Muskogee, where it then shared a short stint with U.S. 62 in downtown Muskogee
before heading north with U.S. 69. From that point, OK 2 duplexed with U.S. 69
to Vinita, where the northern OK 2 begins today. OK 2 was split sometime between
1953 and 1969 due to the long duplex between Warner and Vinita.
Highway Review:
The northern OK 2 lasts just 17 miles throughout central Craig
County in northeast Oklahoma. It connects U.S. 60/69 in Vinita
with OK 25 and U.S. 59/OK 10 in Welch. Most maps and even signs
at the northern terminus indicate that OK 2 continues north along
U.S. 59, but OK 2 is not signed in either direction between U.S.
59/OK 10 and the Kansas State Line.
