Notes

  • I-44 in Oklahoma is a toll road most of the way, paralleled by former U.S. 66.
  • Some highway mavens think that I-44 and I-64 could and should hook up in St. Louis, Missouri, become one longer interstate, and be renamed I-60.
  • I-244 in Tulsa, Oklahoma has its own loop route, I-444. I-244 and I-444 together form a square around Tulsa's downtown known locally as the "Inner Dispersal Loop". But while some maps show the "444" designation, it is signed only with the names of the US and state routes it also carries: US 75, US 64, and Oklahoma State Highway 51.
  • What was once I-244 around St. Louis is currently part of that city's I-270/I-255 beltway.
