Above are three photos of the notorious "Bradbury Corner" area near Edmond, Oklahoma on Route 66. The first is Route 66 with heavy traffic near Edmond, Oklahoma in 1949, and the dangerous intersection is known as Bradbury Corner coming up at US 66 and 77. It was named for Bradbury's Station.
The next two are of Bradbury's Station and an aerial photo of Bradbury Corner with Bradbury's Station to the left.
Everett Bradbury established Bradbury's Station in 1923, located approximately at the southwest corner of the current intersection of Second and Interstate 35.
Today the Rt66 and Hwy 77 are not an intersection, they combine and are a four lane road called 2nd street by locals and goes to downtown Edmond, OK, and turns south at Broadway St.
Rt 66 Rt 77 continue south for several miles before they split into separate roads where 77 becomes an interstate grade road also called Interstate 235 and is a major commuter road between Edmond and Oklahoma City.
The photos are courtesy of 66postcards, the Edmond History Museum, and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
