State Highway 156, also known as SH-156 or OK-156, is a highway maintained by the U.S. state of Oklahoma. Spanning 17 miles[1] (27 km) through the north-central part of the state, it connects the town of Marland, Oklahoma to US-77/US-177 in the north to US-77 in the west. It is the former alignment of US-77.[1]

SH-156 is designated as the 101 Ranch Memorial Road.[2] A historical marker to the ranch is located along the highway.[3]

[edit] Route description

Starting at US-77, the highway goes east for eight miles (13 km) until reaching Marland, where it turns northward. 9 miles (14 km) later, after crossing from Noble County into Kay County, it ends at US-77/177 four miles (4 km) east of Ponca City.

[edit] History

The entirety of SH-156 was once part of US-77. US-77 was realigned and SH-156 was assigned to the old alignment on March 1, 1965.[2] On 1969-07-14, US-60/77/177 was realigned at SH-156's north end, necessitating a slight extension northward.[2] No further changes have taken place since 1969.
