Transportation

Luther is located northeast of Oklahoma City on Oklahoma State Highway 66, formerly U.S. 66. Like many towns between Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Luther was bypassed by opening of the Turner Turnpike in 1953. After decades of planning, a new interchange 11 miles (18 km) east of I-35 was opened at Hogback Road south of Luther in 2011, granting more commuter access between Luther and Oklahoma City.
