Interstate 244

Highway Review:
Interstate 244 is Interstate 44's connection to downtown Tulsa. It begins just two miles north of the eastern terminus of the Turner Turnpike. The highway is signed east-west throughout its 16 miles, but it runs north-south for its first five.

Interstate 244 begins with an exit for Southwest Blvd. (Exit 1D). U.S. 75 joins Interstate 244 at Exit 2 and are joined for two miles before U.S. 75 leaves on its own just north of the Arkansas River. When U.S. 75 leaves, U.S. 64 and OK 51 West join Interstate 244 East. Interstate 244 heads east on its own northwest of downtown Tulsa while U.S. 64 and OK 51 head west with U.S. 412. Interstate 244 East picks up U.S. 412 East and are co-signed for the rest of the interstate's route. Exit 6B serves U.S. 75/secret Interstate 444 West. Exit 7 (Utica Ave./Peoria Ave.), Exit 8 (Delaware Ave./Lewis Ave.), Exit 9 (Harvard Ave.), Exit 10 (Yale Ave.), Exit 11 (Sheridan Rd.), and Exit 12A (Memorial Dr.) all serve northern Tulsa. OK 11 finds its eastern end at Interstate 244's Exit 12B. OK 11, known as the Gilcrease Expressway, is the freeway used to get to the Tulsa International Airport. Just four more interchanges remain on Interstate 244; Exit 13A is a half-interchange serving Mingo Rd., Exits 13B-C serve U.S. 169 (Mingo Valley Expressway), Exit 14 (Garnett Rd.), and Exit 15 (129th E. Ave.)(eastbound only). Interstate 244 ends when it merges with Interstate 44 and U.S. 412 continues on with Interstate 44 for another five miles before splitting.

Interstate 244 East approaching Exit 4B - U.S. 75 North/U.S. 64/
OK 51 East - 1 mile. These highways also have the hidden
designation of Interstate 444. With all the other highways, I think
an Interstate 444 designation would be unnecessary. (Top photo
