[edit] Central Oklahoma

The northern section of OK-37 runs 67.1[1] miles from US 281 in Hinton to Sunnylane Road (former OK-77H) in Moore.

[edit] Route Description

OK-37 (North) begins at US 281 in Hinton, Caddo County. It runs in a zigzag pattern for four miles to the southeast before crossing into Canadian County.[2] The Canadian County section runs in an irregular path to the southeast for 14 miles, before re-entering Caddo County.[3]

Back in Caddo County, OK-37 runs three miles south to the town of Cogar, where it joins OK-152, and turns to the east. This duplex goes two miles before entering Grady County.

In Grady County, OK-37/OK-152 goes 8.8 miles to the east to US 81. There OK-152 turns to the north, and OK-37 joins US 81 for a one-and-a-half mile duplex to Minco, where OK-37 splits off and heads east once again.

OK-37 runs for 16.6 miles in Grady County, serving as the northern terminus for OK-92 on the west edge of Tuttle, and intersecting OK-4 in Tuttle before crossing into McClain County.[4]

One mile into McClain County, OK-37 serves as the northern terminus for OK-76, then joins I-44 for a brief duplex three miles later.[5] OK-37 is duplexed with I-44 for three miles, running north across the Canadian River into Cleveland County and Oklahoma City, where it runs east along SW 134th Street into the city of Moore, where it becomes S. 4th Street.[6]

OK-37 ends at Sunnylane Road, formerly OK-77H, in Moore.

[edit] Southeastern Oklahoma

[edit] Route Description

The southern section of OK-37 is 12.6 miles long[7] . It begins where Texas 37 crosses the Red River into Oklahoma, and heads north for two miles to a junction with OK-98. At this point, OK-37 heads east for 10½ miles to its terminus at US 70 Bypass in Idabel.[8]
