U.S. Route 412 (abbreviated US-412) is a

Oklahoma Panhandle and serves the northern portion of the state's main body, before leaving the state at West Siloam Springs. Along the way, the route serves many notable cities and towns, including Boise City, Guymon, Woodward, Enid, and the state's second-largest city, Tulsa
.

US-412 has two tolled sections, both of them in Oklahoma—the

overlaps or is in close proximity to that of US-64
.

US-412 was extended into Oklahoma in 1988 to encourage recreational travel and the resulting economic benefit to the state. This extension, in which the new designation replaced or overlapped several already existing highways, brought US-412's western terminus to Woodward. In 1993, it was extended west of Oklahoma, bringing it through the Panhandle and into New Mexico.

Route description

The Panhandle

US-412 east of Boise City

U.S. Route 412 crosses the New Mexico–Oklahoma state line northeast of

SH-171 eight miles (13 km) east of the split.[5]

Approximately 12 miles (19 km) east of the SH-171 junction, US-64/US-412/SH-3 cross into

SH-94. East of the highway junction, US-412/SH-3 enter Optima National Wildlife Refuge, where they cross Coldwater Creek, one of the lake's tributaries. After leaving the refuge, the routes pass through the town of Hardesty. From Hardesty, the road continues due east, crossing Palo Duro Creek and Chiquita Creek, two tributaries of the Beaver River. The highways then leave Texas County.[2]

The third county US-412 and SH-3 enter is

SH-23. While SH-23 passes through the intersection north to south, eastbound US-270, following southbound SH-23 from Beaver, joins US-412/SH-3 heading east. The three highways continue on, passing through Slapout, before curving slightly to the north as they exit both Beaver County and the Oklahoma Panhandle.[2]

Northwest Oklahoma

The Glass Mountains, found along US-412, are a major physical feature of Northwest Oklahoma.

Upon entering the main body of Oklahoma, the first county US-270/US-412/SH-3 pass through is

SH-46.[5] US-270/US-412/SH-3 only cross the southwest part of Harper County before curving southeast into Ellis County. The routes, however, only clip the northeast corner of the county, traversing only 1.81 miles (2.91 km) of it before passing into Woodward County.[6]

Shortly after entering Woodward County, US-270/US-412/SH-3 enter the town of

US-56
, US-412 is the sole highway designation on the road it follows.

As US-412 leaves town, it passes south of

SH-50 forms a concurrency with US-412 for 1.3 miles (2.1 km) before splitting off again in Mooreland.[3] The highway passes just south of Curtis as it continues east out of Woodward County.[2]

The next northwestern Oklahoma county that US-412 serves is

SH-58 on the north edge of Ringwood. The two US highways pass through Meno before coming to the Major–Garfield County line.[3]

U.S. Route 412 (Owen K. Garriott) in Enid, Oklahoma

Soon after entering Garfield County, US-60/US-412 run through

Interstate 35 (I-35). US-64 follows I-35 south toward Perry, while US-412 continues straight ahead, where it will form the Cimarron Turnpike.[2]

Northeast Oklahoma

The beginning of the Cherokee Turnpike, headed westbound on US-412

The Cimarron Turnpike, carrying US-412, passes through Noble,

SH-48 southeast of Cleveland. The missing movements are provided by US-64, the northern terminus of SH-48, which merges with US-412 as the Cimarron Turnpike ends. The two routes continue east as a freeway.[5]

The US-64/US-412 freeway, known locally as the Keystone Expressway, serves the western outlying areas of the

SH-51, the latter of which joins US-64/US-412 on the freeway. The three routes then continue east into Tulsa proper.[11]

The Sand Springs Expressway comes to an end at the northwest corner of the Inner Disperal Loop (IDL), a ring of freeways surrounding

SH-66; US-412 forms a concurrency with the latter two routes as they continue east into Rogers County.[5]

Upon entering Rogers County, I-44/US-412/SH-66 parallel the southern boundary of the county, staying just north of the Rogers–Tulsa and, further east, Rogers–

SH-88, 1.39 miles (2.24 km) north of that highway's southern terminus. US-412 then heads eastward out of Rogers County.[12]

After leaving Rogers County, the next county along US-412 is

US-412 Alternate, which runs parallel to the turnpike on an old alignment of US-412.[8][13]

The first interchange on the Cherokee Turnpike is with

SH-10 in Kansas.[9] The Cherokee Turnpike then ends, merging with US-59; at this junction, US-412 Alternate, which was concurrent with US-59, also ends. US-59 and US-412 continue southeast through Flint, before turning due east to West Siloam Springs. There, US-59 splits away from US-412, while US-412 remains on an easterly trajectory, crossing the state line into Siloam Springs, Arkansas.[5]

History

US-412 initially connected Walnut Ridge, Arkansas to Jackson, Tennessee. Mr. Murphy, deputy director of ODOT, recommended to the Transportation Commission that US-412 be extended into Oklahoma on February 1, 1988. ODOT hoped that establishing US-412 in Oklahoma would generate new recreational traffic, thus benefiting the state economically. The new western terminus was to become the US-183/US-270 junction in Woodward; from there, the highway extended for 288.42 miles (464.17 km) to the east, exiting the state in West Siloam Springs. The Transportation Commission approved the recommendation unanimously.[14]

The US-412 designation was applied to preexisting Oklahoma highways. From Woodward to just east of Enid, US-412 replaced

SH-33 to the Arkansas line.[14] The highway designations made redundant by US-412 were removed, effective December 12, 1988.[8]

The first major change to US-412 occurred on November 4, 1991, when US-412 was rerouted onto the newly built Cherokee Turnpike. US-412 Scenic, which was later redesignated US-412 Alternate, was established along the old highway, allowing the highway system to retain a free alternate to the new toll road.[8][13] US-412 was extended west on May 5, 1993; like its initial extension into Oklahoma, this new portion of US-412 followed existing highways: US-56, US-64, US-270, and SH-3.[8][15]

Subsequent changes to US-412 have been more minor. On March 7, 1994, the highway was relocated near Chouteau.[8] Finally, on October 4, 2004, the Transportation Commission approved the realignment of US-60, US-412, and SH-8 at their junction near Orienta.[16] Other than routine maintenance, there have been no further changes to the highway since then.

Tolls

As of 2013, passengers of two-axle vehicles (such as cars and motorcycles) pay a total of $3.00 to travel the entire length of the Cimarron Turnpike and $2.50 to travel the entire length of the Cherokee Turnpike. Tolls vary based on the entrance and exit used. Both turnpikes accept OTA's

Pikepass transponder system as an alternative to cash payment. Pikepass customers receive discounted toll rates; the Pikepass rate for the full length of the Cimarron is $2.85, and the discounted rate for the Cherokee is $2.40.[17]

Toll revenues from the two turnpikes US-412 uses are not necessarily used to maintain those highways. Under a practice known as cross-pledging, all OTA toll revenue is pledged against the sum of OTA's indebtedness, including bonds financing the state's other turnpikes.[18]

Future

On May 20, 2021,

mayor of Tulsa, G. T. Bynum, and the heads of both ODOT and the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ArDOT).[19] The language of the bill was later included in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (H.R. 3684
).

Spur routes

US-412 anchors three state highway spur routes in Oklahoma. These three routes all bear the number "412" with a letter suffix, on an Oklahoma state highway shield.

SH-412A

State Highway 412A marker

State Highway 412A

LocationOaks, Oklahoma
Length2.98 mi[20] (4.80 km)
Existedca. 1957–present

State Highway 412A is the only US-412 spur route to not directly connect to mainline US-412. SH-412A has a total length of 2.98 miles (4.80 km).[20]

SH-412A begins at the Cherokee–Delaware county line in the town of Oaks. The route proceeds north through town. After leaving Oaks, the highway enters unincorporated territory before ending at US-412 Alternate at the unincorporated location of Twin Oaks.[20]

SH-412A existed prior to the extension of US-412 in Oklahoma. As the adjacent section of highway was part of SH-33 prior to becoming US-412, what would become SH-412A was originally designated as SH-33C. SH-33C was first shown on the Oklahoma state highway map in 1958.[21] At the time of the highway's designation, it was a gravel highway; by 1959, however, it had been paved.[22] The first revision of the state highway map to reflect the renumbering of SH-33 to US-412 was the 1989 edition; this was also the first to show SH-33C redesignated as SH-412A.[23]

SH-412B

State Highway 412B marker

State Highway 412B

LocationMayes County, Oklahoma
Length5.33 mi[24] (8.58 km)
Existedca. 1986–present

State Highway 412B is a spur route of US-412 lying entirely within Mayes County. It is 5.33 miles (8.58 km) long.[24]

SH-412B begins at US-412 just west of the Grand River bridge and the western terminus of the Cherokee Turnpike. From there, the highway follows a winding path to the north, passing east of Chouteau, before ending at

SH-69A between MidAmerica Industrial Park to the west and Sportsmen Acres to the east.[2]

The highway that is currently SH-412B was first shown on the official state map in 1987 as SH-33G, connecting to SH-33 at its southern terminus.[25] By 1989, the first edition of the map to show US-412 in Oklahoma, SH-33G had been renumbered to SH-412B.[23]

SH-412P

State Highway 412P marker

State Highway 412P

LocationRogers County, Oklahoma
Length1.26 mi[12] (2.03 km)

State Highway 412P is a spur of US-412 in Rogers County. SH-412P begins at US-412 heading south, then turns east. It then ends at Port 33 of the McClellan–Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, along the Verdigris River. SH-412P is 1.26 miles (2.03 km) long.[12] The highway does not appear on the official state map.[5]
