[edit] Route summary
The highway begins at the triplex of U.S. 62/U.S. 277/State Highway 9 near the unincorporated community of Tabler, east of Chickasha. The road begins traveling east from there, intersecting OK-76 ten miles later west of Dibble. From Dibble, it continues east, meeting the eastern terminus of OK-59 and intersecting OK-24 in the unincorporated town of Woody Chapel. It then continues east to Purcell.
In Purcell, OK-39 crosses under Interstate 35, but does not have a junction with it. The highway soon encounters U.S. 77/OK-74 just east of the interstate. Here, it turns northward and begins an overlap with the two highways through Purcell. OK-74 splits off after a few blocks while OK-39 and U.S. 77 turn eastward and cross over the Canadian River on the James C. Nance Memorial Bridge. After crossing the river, the highways arrive in the town of Lexington and U.S. 77 splits off to the northeast.
OK-39 continues eastward, serving the Lexington prison and duplexing for less than a mile with OK-102. At the town of Asher, the highway intersects OK-3W and OK-59 again. 11 miles (18 km) later, the highway meets OK-9A in Konawa.
Four miles (6 km) later, the highway ends at U.S. 377/OK-3E/OK-99. The mainline of the highway becomes OK-56.
[edit] Spurs
OK-39 once had one spur route, OK-39B. It ran along what is now May Avenue from OK-39's junction with OK-59 to OK-74B east of Cole, Oklahoma.[3]
