Route description
Starting at US-77, the highway goes east for eight miles (13 km) until reaching Marland, where it turns northward. 9 miles (14 km) later, after crossing from Noble County into Kay County, it ends at US-77/177 four miles (4 km) east of Ponca City.
History
The entirety of SH-156 was once part of US-77. US-77 was realigned and SH-156 was assigned to the old alignment on March 1, 1965.[2] On 1969-07-14, US-60/77/177 was realigned at SH-156's north end, necessitating a slight extension northward.[2] No further changes have taken place since 1969.
