[edit] Route description
SH-152 begins at the Texas state line in Roger Mills Co.. It runs just north of the county line, crossing State Highway 30, and continues east until it meets SH-6's northern terminus, where it turns toward the southeast, entering Beckham Co.. It straightens out to head through Sayre running east-west, where it meets both U.S. Highway 283 and Interstate 40. Six miles later it crosses State Highway 34 and six miles after that it meets SH-6 again.
SH-152 then crosses into Washita County and intersects State Highway 44 and 42. It then meets US-183 in a roundabout in Cordell. East of Cordell, it has a 7-mile concurrency with the northern State Highway 54 and, after it splits off, it intersects State Highway 115.
Right after entering Caddo County, it has a 2-mile concurrency with State Highway 58, and then it meets State Highway 146 near Binger. At Binger, it begins to overlap U.S. Highway 281 and SH-8. It splits off on its own again five miles later. 9 miles later, it meets the western State Highway 37 at Cogar, which it then overlaps for 11 miles. North of Minco, it meets US-81. At this T-intersection, SH-37 heads south and SH-152 heads north.
After crossing the Canadian River into Canadian County, SH-152 splits off from US-81 in Union City. It passes the southern terminus of State Highway 92 in Mustang. In downtown Mustang, it overlaps SH-4.
In Oklahoma County, it heads northeast to connect to the Airport Road freeway, which provides access to Will Rogers World Airport, the main airport for Oklahoma City and most of central Oklahoma. SH-152 then ends at Interstate 44.

[edit] History
SH-152 was originally known as SH-41, but was renumbered to SH-152 in 1955 to match the number of TX-152, which connects to the highway at the Texas/Oklahoma state line.[1]
The highway originally ended at the intersection S.W. 29th Street and May Avenue in Oklahoma City when that was the intersection of several other highways including SH-3, SH-74, US-62 and US-277 before the construction of interstate highways and other expressways in the Oklahoma City area. In 1980, the eastern terminus was pushed back a half-mile west to the intersection of Interstate 44 and S.W. 29th and relocated in recent years to its current eastern terminus.
