State Highway 137 (SH-137) is a 6.31-mile (10.15 km) highway in
U.S. Highway 60 in Twin Bridges State Park on the north side of the Grand Lake o' the Cherokees
. It has no lettered spur routes.
SH-137 was established circa 1957. The highway's northern terminus was formerly
US-69 Alternate in Quapaw
, but the portion of highway from SH-10 to US-69 Alternate has since been removed from the state highway system.
Route description
SH-137 begins at an intersection with
SH-10.[2]
History
SH-137 first appears on the 1958 state highway map. At this time, the route began at US-60 and continued north to SH-10 north of Ottawa as it does today. However, it continued north from there; its northern terminus was in
US-69 Alternate). The highway had a gravel surface at this time.[3] SH-137 was paved in its entirety by 1961.[4]
The route remained in this configuration throughout the remainder of the twentieth century.
In 2002, the portion of highway north of SH-10 was stripped of its designation as SH-137 and turned over to Ottawa County, truncating the route to its present-day termini.[5] No further changes have occurred to the route since.
Junction list
The entire route is in Ottawa County.
