Highway Review:
OK 270 runs along part of what was once U.S. 270 between U.S. 62
in Harrah and U.S. 177 north of Shawnee. The change occurred when
the U.S. 270 designation was moved south a few miles to
Interstate 40. A few errant U.S. 270 shields are still present,
however, around the western terminus. The western terminus end
sign says "END U.S. 270," for example. The highway is
signed east-west for most of its journey, but its first four
miles are signed north-south.

"END U.S. 270" sign (should
be OK 270) at U.S. 62 in
Harrah as OK 270 West comes to an
end. The old U.S.
270 didn't end here either. Its western end is in Liberal,
Kansas. (Photo

OK 270 South assurance shield about
a mile south of
U.S. 62. The highway is signed north-south for its
first four miles. (Photo taken 9/21/04) |

U.S. 62 East at OK 270 East. Again,
the highway is
signed U.S. 270 here. At one time, U.S. 270 did
continue here, but the federal highway now runs along
Interstate 40, which is about nine miles to the south.

OK 270 turns from east-west to
north-south at this
stoplight in south Harrah. The cross street here is
S.E. 29th St., which was once OK 3 in this area.
This looks at the intersection from OK 270
South. After
turning left here, the highway becomes OK 270 East.

At the end of the exit ramp off
Interstate 40 East, signs
pointing towards U.S. 177
North also make mention of
OK 270. I'm sure at one time
the sign said "TO
U.S. 270"
but now it is just a mention to a state
highway. (Photo
