State Highway 76, also referred to as OK-76 or SH-76, is a highway maintained by the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It is 110.7[1] miles (178.6 km) long. It runs north-south through central Oklahoma, beginning at Jimtown Road[2] just north of the Red River and ending north of Newcastle at OK-37. It has no lettered spur routes.
[edit] Route description
OK-76 begins north of the Texas border in Love County, south of Leon. After passing through that town, it has its first highway intersection, with State Highway 32. It continues northward from there for 15 miles (24.1 km) to Wilson. OK-76 runs along that town's main street, while OK-70A provides an eastern bypass. West of Wilson, OK-76 has a two mile concurrency with U.S. 70, after which it splits off and runs through Healdton. It then has a three-mile concurrency with OK-53 and then meets OK-7 at Ratliff City.
Four miles north of Ratliff City, OK-76 duplexes for five miles with SH-29, before splitting off to the north to OK-19, which it overlaps with through Lindsay. Fifteen miles north of here, it has a four-way-stop controlled intersection with OK-39 west of Dibble. It continues north from there to have a brief concurrency with U.S. 62/277 through Blanchard. SH-76 then has an interchange with the H.E. Bailey Turnpike Spur, and then meets the western terminus of State Highway 130 west of Newcastle. It then passes under Interstate 44 (but does not have an interchange with it) and ends at OK-37.
