By March 1, 1930, the department name had been modified slightly to simply the Oklahoma Department of Highways. [9] In 1976, the Oklahoma Legislature restructured the Department of Highways as an overall coordinating agency for the state's highways, railways and waterways and renamed to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
Most of I-44 in Oklahoma is a toll road. In southwestern Oklahoma, I-44 is the H. E. Bailey Turnpike and follows a diagonally northwest–southeast (and vice versa) direction. From Oklahoma City to Tulsa, I-44 follows the Turner Turnpike. As I-44 leaves Tulsa, it becomes the Will Rogers Turnpike to the Missouri border.

This project's scope covers all state highways in Oklahoma. To clarify, this means roads maintained by ODOT or OTA. City, county, and privately-maintained roads are not within the scope of this project. (WikiProject U.S. Streets is more appropriate for city streets anyway.) For convenience, here is a chart of all active state numbered highways.

The Will Rogers Turnpike connects Tulsa to the Missouri state line near Joplin. Like the Turner Turnpike, this turnpike serves as a parallel route to US-66 and carries I-44.

Because ODOT demolished the old highway rather than turning it over to Ellis County, this change did not require approval from the Highway Commission. [36] Finally, on October 4, 2004, the Transportation Commission approved the realignment of US-60, US-412, and SH-8 at their junction near Orienta. [37] No further changes to the route are on record.
