H.E. Bailey Turnpike
Encyclopedia : H : HE : HEB : H.E. Bailey Turnpike
The H.E. Bailey Turnpike is a toll road in south-central Oklahoma. The route, opened in 1964, is a four-lane limited access highway, and consists of two sections, which connect Oklahoma City to Lawton and Wichita Falls, Texas. Since 1987, it has been signed as a part of Interstate 44.
The 61.4 mile northern section begins at the junction of I-44 and US 62 north of Newcastle, and ends at US 62/281 north of Lawton. The exits through the Lawton metropolitan area are toll free. The tolled Turnpike resumes where I-44 and US 277/281 split, and the southern section continues for 25.0 miles to US 70, 5 miles north of the Texas state line.
A two-axle vehicle currently pays $4.00 ($3.80 with Pikepass) to drive the full length of the Turnpike.
Aside from the mainline, the Turnpike also consists of a 8.2 mile extension near Newcastle, which connects I-44 and SH 4 to SH 9 and provides a route to Norman. Entering from SH 4, a two-axle vehicle currently pays $0.50 ($0.45 with Pikepass) to drive the full length of the spur.
