OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Metro area drivers will soon notice new signage going up on several local highways designating them as interstate highways.
On Tuesday, the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority’s (OTA) board voted to move forward with plans to designate the Kilpatrick Turnpike, Kickapaoo Turnpike and a portion of State Highway 152 near Will Rogers World Airport as interstates.
The OTA announced over the next month, drivers will notice new signage going up indicating the new designations.
The Kilpatrick Turnpike will be designated I-344.
The Kickapoo Turnpike will be designated I-335.
The portion of OK-152 between I-44 and the Kilpatrick Turnpike will be redesignated as I-240, in order to connect the existing portion of I-240 with the Kilpatrick Turnpike.
The OTA says the only noticeable changes for drivers will be the signage on the roads.
All tolls will remain.
They expect the work to replace signage to last the next month or two.
