Okla. Stat. tit. 69, § 69-1004: Disposition of unneeded portions of rights-of-way by

counties or cities - Procedure - Approval.

Whenever circumstances alter the highway, road or street

requirements or needs of a county or city, after such county or city

has purchased or acquired by eminent domain, any strip, piece or

parcel of land so that such property, or any part thereof, is no

longer needed for such purposes, the board of commissioners of such

county or the governing board of such city is authorized to sell all

right, title and interest of the county or city in such real

property as herein provided. Such property shall be disposed of in

the manner set forth in Title 69, Oklahoma Statutes, Section 1001;

provided, however, no such property which has been or is at the time

of such disposal a portion of the State Highway System shall be

offered for sale or in any manner disposed of by the county or the

city unless notice in writing has first been given to the State

Highway Director, and the State Highway Director has approved of

such sale or other disposal of such property in writing.
