State Highway 142, also known as SH-142 or OK-142, is a 4.3-mile (6.9-kilometer) highway in southern Oklahoma. It serves as a short truck route and bypass around the northern and eastern sections of Ardmore.
[edit] Route description
The highway's western terminus is at I-35 (milemarker 33) in Ardmore. Beginning as a divided highway, it intersects US-77 approximately 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) to the east. From there, SH-142 progresses as a two-lane highway approximately 2 miles (3.2 kilometers), makes a fairly sharp right turn to the south (near the Valero refinery), and terminates 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) to the south at an intersection with State Highway 199.
SH-142 was originally designated as a state highway in 1958 between US-77 on Ardmore's north side and the former US-70 on the east side of the city which is the current S.H. 199. In 1970 when I-35 was completed along the west side of Ardmore, SH-142 was extended a mile further west from US-77 to an interchange with the interstate route. SH-142 in Ardmore is locally designated as Veterans Boulevard.
