EspañolOKLAHOMA STATE HIGHWAY 9
(Redirected from State Highway 9 (Oklahoma))
'State Highway 9', abbreviated as 'OK-9', 'SH-9', or simply 'Highway 9', is a major east-west highway in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It stretches across the central part of the state, from the Texas state line near Madge, Oklahoma to the Arkansas state line near Fort Smith, Arkansas. It is a major highway around the Norman area and, at 350 miles (563.3 km), Oklahoma's second-longest state highway (being dwarfed only by State Highway 3).
From its western terminus at State Highway 203 along the Texas border, the highway travels due east for five miles, intersecting with OK-30 between Madge and Vinson. It continues east for 23 miles without intersecting another highway again until meeting U.S. 283/OK-34 two miles north of Mangum. It overlaps the other two routes for four miles going north before splitting off and heading east again through Granite and Lone Wolf. Near Hobart it overlaps U.S. 183 for four miles (again going northward) before splitting off again.
The highway continues east through Gotebo, Mountain View, and Carnegie. Around Fort Cobb, Oklahoma it begins nine miles of travel to the south. There it links up with the concurrent U.S. Highways 62 and 281. While U.S. 281 will split off in Anadarko, OK-9 and U.S. 62 remain concurrent until Newcastle. In Chickasha, U.S. 277 joins to form another three-route concurrency with 62 and OK-9.
From Chickasha, the routes go northeast to the town of Blanchard. Four miles later, OK-9 splits away from the two U.S. routes, all alone until Goldsby. The section of road, recently upgraded to a four-lane divided highway, provides an important link from the H.E. Bailey Turnpike Spur to Interstate 35. At the interstate, OK-9 merges onto I-35 Northbound to cross the Canadian River into Norman.
Through Norman, Highway 9 serves as a major artery providing access to the University of Oklahoma campus (in particular, the Lloyd Noble Center). Through this area the road is a four-lane divided highway (with surface crossings and stoplights). However, after a full interchange with U.S. 77 the road suddenly becomes a two lane highway again. This section is often the site of accidents involving speeding and road rage.
The road continues eastward, passing Lake Thunderbird and the Little River Zoo, before reaching the towns of Tecumseh and Seminole. It intersects the Indian Nation Turnpike near Hanna and U.S. 69 near Eufaula. It provides access to the south side of Lake Eufaula before reaching Stigler.
SH-9 overlaps U.S. 59 for five miles, after which the road becomes concurrent with U.S. 271. These two roads remain joined until OK-9 ends at the Arkansas border. After this, the mainline becomes I-540.
Along its length SH-9 creates a number of spur highways:
★ 'Business OK-9' is a three mile loop through Hobart.
★ Another instance of 'Business OK-9' loops through Gotebo. (This is not shown on the state highway map.)
★ 'OK-9A' is a designation for three distinct highways:
★
★ A highway that intersects OK-9 in Earlsboro and links the parent highway to I-40 and OK-39 in Konawa. It also passes through the town of Maud.
★
★ A connector highway from U.S. 69 to OK-9 south of Eufaula.
★
★ A spur route to OK-112 in Arkoma. This section is a former alignment of U.S. Highway 271.
