State Highway 199, also known as OK-199 or SH-199, is a 44-mile (71-kilometer) highway in southern Oklahoma. The part of the highway west of Madill is the historic routing of U.S. 70. It provides access to the Fort Washita Historic Site.
[edit] Route description
The highway's western beginning is at I-35 (milemarker 31) in Ardmore. From here, it goes eastward out of town. At Dickson it becomes duplexed with U.S. 177. They stay joined until Madill.
At Madill, the highway splits off of U.S. 177 and heads east on its own. It crosses over Lake Texoma and passes Fort Washita before ending near Brown, Oklahoma at OK-78.
OK-199's route from Interstate 35 on the west side of Ardmore to Madill was the former route of U.S. 70 until 1984, when U.S. 70 was relocated between the two cities over its present route.
