State Highway 67, abbreviated as SH-67, is a 9.94-mile-long (16.00 km) highway on the south side of Tulsa. It begins in the west at U.S. Route 75 Alternate in Kiefer and runs east along 151st St. South before ending at US-64 in Bixby. Along the way it crosses US-75 in Glenpool. It has no lettered spur routes.
SH-67 was first established in 1936. Throughout much of its early years, the highway's extent was in flux, at various times serving towns such as Mounds, Drumright, Sapulpa, and Coweta.
State Highway 67 is split between the counties of Creek and Tulsa County. The first 1.92 miles (3.09 km) of the route lie in Creek County, while the remainder of the route, 8.02 miles (12.91 km), falls within Tulsa County.
SH-67 begins at US-75 ALT in downtown Kiefer. The highway heads east from here, crossing into Tulsa County just under two miles east of town. About a mile after crossing the county line, SH-67 has an interchange with US-75, the Okmulgee Bee-Line. The route then proceeds east to Memorial Drive (US-64 in Bixby), where it reaches its eastern terminus.
SH-67 was first commissioned on May 21, 1936, serving in the same capacity—connecting US 75 to US 64 south of Tulsa—as it does now, though with a much different route. The original SH-67 began at US-75 in Mounds (US-75 at the time using the present-day route of US-75 ALT) and continuing east through far southern Tulsa County, reaching US-64 south of Bixby. The first extension to SH-67 occurred just over one month into the highway's life, on June 23, 1936. This extended the designation north along US-75 to Sapulpa. From here, it ran concurrent with US-66 out of town, splitting from US-66 to follow present-day SH-33 (which at this time followed SH-51 en route to downtown Tulsa) and coming to an end in Drumright.
