State Highway 98, also abbreviated to SH-98 or OK-98, is a highway maintained by the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It travels for 19.67 miles (31.66 km) through McCurtain County It has one unsigned spur route, SH-98S.
SH-98 began as a short spur from US-70 to Wright City in 1953. In 1958, it was extended to its present extent, although the routing north of US-70 differed from that of the present day. By 1982, the highway had taken on its current routing and termini.
SH-98 begins at the eastern SH-37 about 2 miles (3.2 km) north of the Red River (the Texas state line) and 10 miles (16 km) west of Idabel. The highway eventually heads northwest, but soon swings back around to head northward. The road continues due north on an arrow-straight course through the level terrain of the Whitegrass Flats. SH-98 intersects US-70 between Valliant and Millerton.
Highway 98 curves to the northeast north of US-70. It then returns to a due north course, crossing the Little River. About 7 miles (11 km) north of US-70, it makes a sharp turn to the east. The highway skirts the north edge of Wright City, and SH-98S (see below) spurs off to serve the center of the town. SH-98 continues eastward, headed toward Glover, until turning northeast to meet SH-3, where it has its northern terminus.
