"Old 18"
Photo Gallery
Downtown Asher is located on old SH 18, which
was
once one of Oklahoma's
longest north-south highways.
Oklahoma State Highway 18 was commissioned
in August of 1924 and, at one time, traveled from
Dickson, Oklahoma (11 miles east of Ardmore) to
Shidler, Oklahoma at the
Kansas border.
US 177
replaced the highway between Dickson and Shawnee in 1967.

Original SH 18 Bridge |
|
Over the Canadian River, this bridge was in service from 1921 to 1967. Notice the old car on bridge. This bridge has been removed. There is no highway left for a short ways before the bridge and until near SH 39. |
