State Highway 142, also known as OK-142 or SH-142, is a 4.3-mile (6.9-kilometer) highway in southern Oklahoma. It serves as a short truck route and bypass around the northern and eastern sections of Ardmore.
[edit] Route description
The highway's western terminus is at I-35 (milemarker 33) in Ardmore. Beginning as a divided highway, it intersects U.S. 77 approximately 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) to the east. From there, OK-142 progresses as a two-lane highway approximately 2 miles (3.2 kilometers), makes a fairly sharp right turn to the south (near the Valero refinery), and terminates 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) to the south at an intersection with State Highway 199.
SH-142 was originally designated as a state highway in 1958 between U.S. 77 on Ardmore's north side and the former U.S. 70 on the east side of the city which is the current S.H. 199. In 1970 when I-35 was completed along the west side of Ardmore, SH-142 was extended a mile further west from U.S. 77 to an interchange with the interstate route. SH-142 in Ardmore is locally designated as Veterans Boulevard.
