State Highway 102 (abbreviated SH-102 or OK-102) is a north-south state highway in central Oklahoma. It runs for 52.9 miles[1] (85.1 km) from Wanette, Oklahoma to Wellston, Oklahoma. It has no lettered spur routes.
[edit] Route description
SH-102 begins in downtown Wanette and heads northward to meet State Highway 39, which it very briefly duplexes with. After splitting off, it heads due north to Tribbey. Two miles north of Tribbey, it meets the western terminus of SH-59B, west of Macomb. Eight miles later, it crosses State Highway 9 east of Pink. It provides access to the Shawnee Reservoir before meeting Interstate 40.
SH-102 merges into Interstate 40 at Exit 178 (Dale/Bethel Acres) and splits at Exit 176 (McLoud Rd.). Between these two exits, OK-102 quadriplexes with Interstate 40, U.S. 270, and State Highway 3. After splitting off, it heads northward to meet State Highway 270 in McLoud, which it briefly duplexes with. After splitting off in downtown McLoud, it heads northward to cross into Lincoln County. It crosses over Interstate 44 (the Turner Turnpike) on a one-lane bridge, with no interchange. The highway ends near Wellston at State Highway 66.
[edit] History
SH-102 was briefly extended to SH-66B when work on SH-66 caused its traffic to be detoured onto SH-66B.[2] After the work was completed, SH-102 was truncated back to SH-66, though the connector road still exists and is remains open to traffic.
