On July 6, 1964, the Oklahoma State Highway Commission approved a realignment to US-59's route through Poteau. [17] Another change, further north, was approved on March 4, 1968. This moved US-59 onto a new bridge over the Arkansas River upon completion of its construction, with the old highway being turned over to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
By March 1, 1930, the department name had been modified slightly to simply the Oklahoma Department of Highways. [9] In 1976, the Oklahoma Legislature restructured the Department of Highways as an overall coordinating agency for the state's highways, railways and waterways and renamed to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
This project's scope covers all state highways in Oklahoma. To clarify, this means roads maintained by ODOT or OTA. City, county, and privately-maintained roads are not within the scope of this project. (WikiProject U.S. Streets is more appropriate for city streets anyway.) For convenience, here is a chart of all active state numbered highways.

Spanning across the central part of the state, SH-9 begins at the Texas state line west of Vinson, Oklahoma, and ends at the Arkansas state line near Fort Smith, Arkansas. State Highway 9 is a major highway around the Norman area. At 348.1 miles (560.2 km), [1] [2] [3] SH-9 is Oklahoma's second-longest state highway (second to State Highway 3).
State Highway 4, abbreviated as SH-4 or OK-4, is a designation for two distinct highways maintained by the U.S. state of Oklahoma. One of them serves as an important route through the suburbs west of Oklahoma City, while the other connects US-259 to the Arkansas state line west of Cove, Arkansas. SH-4 has no lettered spur routes.
The road becomes a freeway in the run-up to Interstate 540, which begins at the Oklahoma–Arkansas state line. SH-112 exits at the last interchange in Oklahoma. From here, the highway heads north toward Arkoma, paralleling the state line. [citation needed] SH-112 intersects SH-9A in Arkoma, and one of the two highways continues to the state line.
As a result, the OTA could not obtain financing to build that proposed turnpike and turned the initial plans including surveys and blueprints over to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation in 1956 for the construction of I-35 as a freeway on that same alignment, which was completed in several stages between 1958 and 1962.
