Tolls by Tulsa

Please tell me it isn't true... coming from MO to TX on 44 and I hear it's gonna cost me 40 + $ in tolls.

True?

Options for getting around if so?

    Plenty of other, free highways one can drive instead, but they go thru towns and have lower speed limits. You get to choose. ;)

    I stand corrected.

  • Toll for 4 axles paying cash = $32.75. It looks like OK has turned every interstate highway into a turnpike thus the only way around the tolls is to route yourself on US highways. See https://www.pikepass.com/toll/AllTollRates.aspx
  • Yeah, I hate tolls also. But hate longer slower roundabout bypasses thru small towns on small highways trying to avoid tolls. Not that much money in the grand scheme of things.
  • Thx. That's what I found, but heard from others that it might be twice that. I don't like tolls, but want to keep time and distance down during that portion of the trip if possible.

    Appreciate the info... I'll ck out the maps more.
  • If you are planning for traveling I-44 from Missouri to Oklahoma City, I seem to remember it being $11.00 from state line to Tulsa (Will Rogers turnpike) and another $11.00 from Tulsa to OKC (Turner turnpike. And another $12.00 or so if you go all the way to Wichita Falls, TX. That would be for towing a two axle trailer. Toll calculators are available on-line by googling Oklahoma toll roads.

    You could go south on US 69 at Big Cabin to avoid much of the tolls.
