Oklahoma State Highway 24
State Highway 24 (SH-24) is a highway maintained by the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It runs for 21.1 miles (34.0 km) through central Oklahoma, almost entirely within McClain County. It is signed north–south and has no lettered spur routes.
SH-24 was designated in 1936, and originally extended southward into Garvin County to an intersection with SH-19 between Maysville and Lindsay. By 1950, its southern terminus had been moved to its current location, while a new bridge near Washington caused a realignment of the highway in the early 1990s.
