U.S. Route 62 or U.S. Highway 62 (US 62) is an east–west United States Highway in the southernand northeastern United States. It runs from the Mexican border at El Paso, Texas, to Niagara Falls, New York, near the Canadian border. It is the only east–west United States Numbered Highway that connects Mexico and Canada. Parts of US 62 follow what once was the Ozark Trail, including the historic bridge across the South Canadian River in Newcastle, Oklahoma (the first structure built with federal highway funds in Oklahoma after lobbying efforts by Stanley Draper).[3] This bridge was damaged beyond repair by the 2013 Moore tornadothat struck Newcastle and Moore, Oklahoma. The highway runs north–south in New York and Pennsylvania.
