OK 92 South at U.S. 62/U.S. 277/OK 9

(South)

Highway History:
The southern section is the original OK 92. The northern OK 92, which goes from OK 152 in Mustang to OK 66 in Yukon, was commissioned in the 1950s. The two sections have never been joined.

The southern terminus of OK 92 from the 1950s until recently was at the Lake Burtschi State Park west of Norge. Sometime between trips I took in the area in 2002 and 2005, the southern terminus was truncated to the U.S. 62/U.S. 277/OK 9 intersection two miles east of Interstate 44. We have pictures of the end signs at both places.

Highway Review:
As stated above, prior to 2005, the southern OK 92 began its journey about two miles north of U.S. 277 in the Lake Burtschi State Park. Several maps showed that the southern terminus is at U.S. 277, but that was never the case. OK 92 traveled east for several miles before heading through its first town, Norge. A few miles later, OK 92 entered Chickasha. At U.S. 81/U.S. 277, OK 92 went north, and multiplexed with the federal highways until reaching U.S. 62/OK 9, where OK 92 headed east. OK 92 was sporadically signed along these multiplexes. Just east of Interstate 44, OK 92 headed north on its own once again.

Today's OK 92 route begins at U.S. 62/U.S. 277/OK 9 and goes through the town of Amber before hitting its northern terminus 18 miles later at OK 37 in Tuttle.

	OK 92 South at its former southern terminus. The road is actually heading west at this point. Lake Burtschi is just to the left. Maps show that this is part of OK 92 and then it heads south for its final two miles (the north-south road shown on the maps as OK 92 is in the distance) but that was not true. (Photo taken 10/4/02)

	West U.S. 62/OK 9/South U.S. 277/OK 92 just west of OK 92. If you haven't figured it out by now, OK 92 was not very well signed during its stretch with U.S. 62/277/OK 9. I guess they didn't want four highways in one sign! (Photo taken 10/4/02)

	"END OK 92" sign at OK 37 in Tuttle as OK 92 North comes to an end. OK 92's northern section begins a few miles north of here in Mustang, but there has never been a direct connection between the two OK 92 sections. (Photo taken 10/4/02)
