EspañolOKLAHOMA STATE HIGHWAY 2
(Redirected from State Highway 2 (Oklahoma))
'State Highway 2', abbreviated 'OK-2' or 'SH-2', is a designation for two distinct highways maintained by the U.S. state of Oklahoma. Though they were once connected, the middle section of highway was concurrent with three different U.S. highways, so the middle section was decommissioned for reasons of redundancy.
The southern section of highway runs from Antlers, Oklahoma to U.S. Route 64 near Warner, covering 117 miles[1] (188 km) through the southeastern part of the state. The northern OK-2 runs for 17 miles[2] (27.4 km) through Craig Co. in northeastern Oklahoma.
The southern section of OK-2 begins at OK-3 in Antlers. It travels north-northwest from here, roughly parallelling the Kiamichi River, until reaching Clayton and U.S. 271. North of Clayton, Highway 2 and U.S. 271 overlap for 3 miles (5 km). Immediately after this, OK-2 meets OK-43's eastern terminus southeast of Sardis Lake. OK-2 then crosses over the lake and meets OK-1/OK-63, and the three form a six-mile (10 km) concurrency. This area is mountainous and has some tight hairpin curves. After the concurrency Highway 2 continues northward, meeting U.S. 270 at Wilburton.
OK-2 then passes Robbers Cave State Park and the eastern edge of the Sansbois Mountains before reaching OK-31 east of Quinton, and the two form a six-mile (10 km) concurrency until Kinta. Ten miles (16 km) north of here, Highway 2 meets OK-9. Three miles (4.9 km) later, the highway passes the eastern terminus of OK-71, south of the town of Porum, Oklahoma. 10 miles later, OK-2 meets U.S. 266, which it will overlap until its end. After having an interchange at I-40 milemarker 278, both OK-2 and U.S. 266 end at U.S. 64 near Warner.
The northern OK-2 begins at U.S. 60/U.S. 69 in Vinita. It then heads due north, meeting OK-25 four miles (6.5 km) west of Bluejacket. Six miles north of here, it ends at OK-10 in Welch, Oklahoma.
The mainline road becomes U.S. Route 59, and the official state maps show OK-2 as overlapping U.S. 59 until the Kansas border nine miles (14.4 km) later. However, the signage all shows that OK-2 ends in Welch [1].
