State Highway 156, abbreviated SH-156, is a highway maintained by the U.S. state of Oklahoma. Spanning 16.91 miles (27.21 km) through the north-central part of the state, it connects the town of Marland, Oklahoma to US-60/US-77/US-177 in the north to US-77 in the west. It is the former alignment of US-77.
Route description
Starting at US-77, the highway goes east for eight miles (13 km) until reaching Marland, where it turns northward. Nine miles (14 km) later, after crossing from Noble County into Kay County, it ends at US-60/US-77/US-177 four miles (6.4 km) west of Ponca City.
SH-156 is designated as the 101 Ranch Memorial Road.[3] A historical marker to the ranch is located along the highway.[4]
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.[3] On July 14, 1969, US-60/US-77/US-177 was realigned at SH-156's north end, necessitating a slight extension northward.[3] No further changes have taken place since 1969.
