Route description[edit]
The Kilpatrick Turnpike's entire route lies within the city limits of Oklahoma City. There are no exit numbers assigned to any of the turnpike's interchanges.[1]
The Kilpatrick Turnpike begins at an interchange with SH-152 just west of Council Road in southwestern Oklahoma City. The turnpike heads generally north and west from this interchange, with exits to Morgan Road, Sara Road/SW 29th Street, and a partial interchange with SW 15th street, with traffic exiting from southbound and entering northbound. From there, it angles northeast to a full interchange with I-40/US-270. Another partial interchange is located at N.W. 10th Street, with ramps allowing drivers to join the northbound turnpike and exit the southbound turnpike. The turnpike continues north, passing just east of the Yukon city limits, before making an S-curve to the east, running west of Lake Overholser. The turnpike's first full interchange is with State Highway 66 (SH-66), which runs along N.W. 39th Expressway. North of this interchange, the Kilpatrick Turnpike crosses the North Canadian River. The next interchange is with Wilshire Boulevard. Immediately north of Wilshire Boulevard is the first barrier toll plaza. The highway's next interchange is with SH-3, also known as the Northwest Expressway. The turnpike curves to the east north of here, entering Oklahoma County.[1]
Al este de la línea del condado, Kilpatrick Turnpike sigue la ruta de Memorial Road; El monumento se divide en un par de caminos secundarios de un solo sentido durante este tramo. El siguiente cruce, en Council Road, permite que el tráfico en dirección este salga y en dirección oeste entre en la autopista de peaje. Los dos intercambios al este de aquí, en Rockwell Avenue y MacArthur Road, permiten un acceso completo. En Meridian Avenue, el tráfico puede salir de la autopista de peaje en dirección oeste y entrar en ella en dirección este. Al este se encuentra un intercambio con SH-74 . Este es el término norte de la autopista Lake Hefner Parkway ; al norte de aquí, SH-74 sigue Portland Avenue. [1]El intercambio solo permite el acceso directo desde Kilpatrick Turnpike en dirección oeste a SH-74 en dirección sur y desde SH-74 en dirección norte a la autopista de peaje en dirección este; todos los demás movimientos deben completarse a través de Memorial Road. [2] La autopista de peaje continúa hacia el este, con intercambios completos en las avenidas May y Pennsylvania (Penn). Al este de Penn, la carretera se curva hacia el sureste, dejando el corredor Memorial Road. El siguiente cruce está en Western Avenue. Al este de aquí está la plaza de peaje de la segunda barrera. Después de la plaza de peaje está el intercambio con la US-77 , una autopista también conocida como Broadway Extension. La autopista de peaje tiene un intercambio en Eastern Avenue. La autopista de peaje llega a su fin en la I-35 / I-44. Eastbound I-44 splits away from northbound I-35 at this interchange to form the Turner Turnpike, and the eastbound Kilpatrick Turnpike mainline merges into the Turner Turnpike toward Tulsa.[1]
Law enforcement along the John Kilpatrick Turnpike is provided by Oklahoma Highway Patrol Troop YE, a special troop assigned to the turnpike.[3]
History[edit]
In 1987, the Oklahoma Legislature authorized construction of the first phase of the turnpike, between I-35 and Lake Hefner Parkway. It was completed in 1991. In 2001, an extension of the turnpike to I-40 was completed.[4]
Future[edit]
On October 29, 2015, Governor Mary Fallin announced that the Kilpatrick Turnpike would be extended south to end at SH-152 near Will Rogers World Airport as part of Driving Forward, a $892 million turnpike package. The project began on January 20, 2018.[5]
The extension was opened January 9, 2020.[6]
In February 2021, the OTA announced that all of the turnpikes will be going all-electronic tolling within the next five years, starting with the Kilpatrick Turnpike.
Tolls[edit]
As of December 2020[update], it costs $3.75 ($3.20 with Pikepass) to drive the entire length of the turnpike.[7]
Exit list[edit]
The entire route is in Oklahoma City. All exits are unnumbered.
