Detail Information
1931-33 paved roadbed section extending westward from just east of the Canadian River in Canadian County and west into Caddo County for approximately 19.5 miles, following the 1926, 1933, and 1934 alignments. This is the longest continuous and essentially unaltered segment of original surfacing in the state, ending approximately .5 mile east of I-40 exit #84 at Weatherford. It includes one particularly noteworthy and individually NRHP-eligible bridge structure over the Canadian River (described separately below as feature 71), and 9 additional bridges (features 72-80) and 1 railroad trestle (feature 81) which contribute to this stretch’s NRHP-significance. A short eastern section to the US-281 Hinton Jct intersection is still on the State Highway System as US-281. The remainder is locally owned and maintained.
