Автомагистраль 97 штата Оклахома

State highway in Oklahoma, United States

State Highway 97 (abbreviated SH 97) is a 19.86 mile (32 km) state highway, maintained by the U. S. state of Oklahoma. It connects two towns in the northeast part of the state: Sapulpa and Sand Springs. Several communities of West Tulsa are along the road between these two towns, including Pretty Water, Allen, and Prattville. SH 97 has existed since 1952. The highway had a lettered spur, SH 97T, for one year, but it is no longer on the state highway system.

State Highway 97 begins in Sapulpa at an intersection that serves as the terminus of two other highways—U. S. Route 75 Alternate and State Highway 33 (SH 66 also passes through the intersection). From this point, the highway heads north toward the Turner Turnpike (I 44), which it has an interchange with. At the northern outskirts of Sapulpa, it serves as the western terminus of SH 166, a short spur route. The highway then passes through unincorporated areas of northeast Creek County. At W. 61st Street S., the road crosses into Tulsa County. About one mile (1.6 km) north of the county line, SH 97 enters Prattville, a neighborhood of Sand Springs. At the north end of the town, the highway intersects SH 51 and begins a concurrency with it. The two routes cross the Arkansas River into the main part of Sand Springs together. SH 97 then has an interchange with the Sand Springs Expressway, a freeway which carries US 64 and US 412; SH 51 merges onto the eastbound freeway, bound for downtown Tulsa. SH 97 continues straight ahead on North Wilson Avenue, then turns onto West 2nd Street and passes through downtown Sand Springs. The highway turns back to the north at McKinley Avenue. The highway continues north out of town until reaching a T intersection, where it continues by turning right. The highway was extended north into Osage County on October 15, 1956.
