U.S. Highway 75 Business

Location Henryetta, Oklahoma
Length2.94 mi (4.73 km)

The first special route along U.S. 75 is U.S. Route 75 Business in Henryetta, Oklahoma, in Okmulgee County. The route is 2.94 miles (4.73 km) in length. [1] It begins at I-40 exit 237 west of town. It then continues east through the town to end at US-62/75 east of downtown. The entirety of the route is concurrent with Business Loop I-40 and U.S. 62 Business.

Beggs–Sapulpa alternate route

US 75.svg

U.S. Highway 75 Alternate

Location BeggsSapulpa, Oklahoma
Length30.15 mi (48.52 km)

U.S. Route 75 Alternate, the only such special route stemming from U.S. 75, is a former alignment of the mainline highway from east of Beggs to Sapulpa, Oklahoma, a suburb of Tulsa. The route is 30.15 miles (48.52 km) long. [1] [2] U.S. 75 Alternate is also sporadically signed as U.S. 75A and State Highway 75A.

The highway begins at U.S. 75 east of Beggs and travels west to that town, where it turns north. It runs through the towns of Mounds and Kiefer before reaching Sapulpa. In Sapulpa, its northern terminus is explicitly signed at an intersection with State Highway 66 and other state highways, but official Oklahoma Department of Transportation maps show it extending northeast along SH-66 until the point where it merges with I-44.

U.S. 75 followed what is now U.S. 75 Alternate prior to 1959. On August 28 of that year, mainline U.S. 75 was rerouted onto the new Okmulgee Beeline freeway and expressway, and U.S. 75 Alternate was established along the former route of the highway.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Special routes of U.S. Route 20</span>

Several special routes of U.S. Route 20 (US 20) exist. In order from west to east, they are as follows.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">U.S. Route 77 in Iowa</span> Highway in Iowa, United States

U.S. Highway 77 (US 77) is the shortest U.S. Highway in the state of Iowa.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">U.S. Route 75 in Iowa</span> Highway in Iowa

U.S. Highway 75 (US 75) is a United States Highway in northwestern Iowa. It begins at the Missouri River on a bridge with Interstate 129 (I-129) and US 20. Immediately upon landing in Iowa from Nebraska, I-129 ends at an interchange with I-29. US 20 and US 75 continue around Sioux City on a four-lane expressway until US 20 exits to the east. US 75 heads to the north-northeast, parallel to the Floyd River, until Le Mars. There, Iowa Highway 60 (Iowa 60) continues northeastward on the expressway while US 75 heads due north. Near Hull, it is briefly overlapped by US 18. It leaves the state and enters Minnesota north of Rock Rapids.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Iowa Highway 7 (1957–1968)</span>

Iowa Highway 7 was a state highway that existed from 1957 to 1968. It began at the interchange between Interstate 29 (I-29), U.S. Highway 20, and U.S. Highway 77 in Sioux City and traveled north to end at Iowa 3 west of Le Mars. The route of Iowa 7 was an original primary road in 1920, but then it was known as Primary Road No. 29 and later Iowa 29. When I-29 was designated to come through Iowa in the 1950s, Iowa 29 was renumbered Iowa 7. Through Sioux City, the highway was well traveled, especially near I-29 and the downtown area; the inverse was true at the rural northern end. Subsequently, Iowa 7 was removed from the primary highway system in 1968.
