[edit] Route description
OK-19 begins at an intersection with U.S. 283 in Blair, Oklahoma. OK-19 heads east from Blair for 23 miles (37 km) without intersecting another highway before meeting U.S. Route 183 north of Roosevelt. It continues eastward, sharing a 3 mile (4.8 km) section of road with State Highway 54 before splitting off to the east and briefly overlapping with SH-115 and State Highway 58.
The next town Highway 19 encounters is Apache, north of Lake Ellsworth, where it crosses U.S. Route 62/281. Nine miles (14½ km) later, it overlaps with U.S. Route 277 at Cyril. These two overlap with U.S. 81 near Ninnekah, but OK-19 splits off to the east once again within 3 miles (4.8 km).
After splitting off, OK-19 travels in a southeast direction to have a brief concurrency with State Highway 76 through Lindsay. 10 miles (16 km) later it intersects with State Highway 74 at a four-way stop in Maysville. Still continuing southeast, 10 miles (16 km) later it has an interchange with Interstate 35 and an intersection with U.S. Route 77 in Pauls Valley.
After passing through the Pauls Valley area, OK-19 crosses U.S. Route 177 west of Stratford, Oklahoma. It then ends, concurrent with OK-3W at the Richardson Loop outside of Ada.[2]
[edit] Spurs
OK-19 once had two lettered spurs. They have both been decommissioned[3] but they continue to appear on state highway maps.[2]
- OK-19C once ran for one mile from OK-19 to Alex.
- OK-19D once ran for one mile from OK-19 to Bradley.
[edit] Notes
- OK-19 is Oklahoma's 13th longest state highway.[1]
