Everything about U S Route 412 totally explained
U.S. Route 412 is an east-west
United States highway, first commissioned in 1982. Its route number is a "violation" of the usual
AASHTO numbering scheme, as it comes nowhere near its implied "parent",
US 12. U.S. 412 overlaps expressway-grade
Cimarron Turnpike from Tulsa west to
Interstate 35 and the
Cherokee Turnpike from 5 miles west of
Chouteau, Oklahoma, to 8 miles west of the Arkansas state line. U.S. 412 has a bannered route in eastern Oklahoma named
Scenic US 412, one of only two such routes in the country. Another curiosity of this highway is that it runs the entire length of the
Oklahoma Panhandle and traverses the
Missouri Bootheel.
As of 2004, the highway's eastern terminus is in
Columbia, Tennessee at an intersection with
Interstate 65, where it continues east as
State Route 99. Its western terminus is in
Springer, New Mexico at an intersection with
Interstate 25.
