U.S. Highway 75
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
US 75 is a north-south United States highway. US 75 was a border-to-border route, from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico at Galveston, Texas. However, the entire segment south of Dallas, Texas has been decommissioned in favor of Interstate 45, a cutoff section of town-to-town surface road having become Texas State Highway 75.

Termini
As of 2005, the highway's northern terminus is in Kittson County, Minnesota at the Canadian border, where it continues as Provincial Highway 75. Its southern terminus is at Interstate 30 in Dallas, Texas. The portion south of U.S. Highway 175 continues as Texas State Highway 310 through the south side of Dallas to a terminus with Interstate 45. Segments of old US 75 below Dallas are signed as Business Route I-45 (through Ennis, Texas and Corsicana, Texas) and Texas State Highway 75.
Alternate routes
As of 2004, Alternate US 75 in Oklahoma has an northern terminus in Sapulpa, where it does not meet the main line of US 75. It joins US 75 in Beggs. The main line of US 75, known locally as the "Okmulgee Beeline", is a modern four-lane highway. Its original route, three miles (5 km) to the west through Kiefer, was designated as Alternate US 75. Historically, US 75 met Route 66 in Sapulpa, and the routes were co-signed into Tulsa.
States traversed
The highway passes through the following states:
Notes
The stretch of US 75 between Interstate 30 and the Oklahoma state line has numbered exits; however, they are numbered in consecutive numerical order from 1-73 (though A and B designations are used in some places), not corresponding to mile markers (of which there are none along this stretch). This is the only stretch of freeway in Texas numbered as such.
Between Atoka, Oklahoma and Denison, Texas, US 75 is colocated with U.S. Highway 69.
