US Route 62 in Oklahoma

U.S. Highway 62 (US 62) runs diagonally across the state, from the Texas state line in far southwestern Oklahoma to the Arkansas state line near Fayetteville. US-62 spends a total of 402.48 miles (647.73 km) in the Sooner State. Along the way the route serves two of Oklahoma's largest cities, Lawton and Oklahoma City, as well as many regionally important cities, like Altus, Chickasha, Muskogee, and Tahlequah. Despite this, US- 62 has no lettered spur routes like many other US routes in Oklahoma do. The section of the Interstate system's route that passes through Oklahoma City was altered several times after it was established in order to accommodate the presence of the new freeways. The present-day route of US 62 includes concurrencies with I-44, I-240,. I-35, and I-40. It also includes an expressway, Rogers Lane, that serves the north side of Lawton (along with several Ft. Sill gates). It also serves as the southern terminus of another Oklahoma state highway, SH-115.
