Oklahoma Renames 20-Mile Section of State Highway After Trump
A highway in Oklahoma will be named after former President Donald Trump after the state’s Republican governor signed a bill renaming a 20-mile section of U.S. Route 287 after the 45th president of the United States.
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt on Thursday signed Senate Bill 624 (pdf), a measure that honors dozens of individuals—from members of law enforcement and the military to local and state politicians—by naming highways and bridges after them.
“Highways, bridges, and other facilities which are part of the state highway system may be considered for dedication in honor of individuals deserving of commendation for their active involvement in the project or for outstanding service to the nation, this state, or their community,” the text of the bill reads.
