Oklahoma Turnpikes
with
HOWARD JOHNSON'S!

Following the lead of several East Coast states, in the late 1940s Oklahoma committed to building a network of limited access toll roads. All of 86 miles, the first of the state's hodgepodge of pikes opened to traffic on May 16, 1953. It was the Turner Turnpike, and ran roughly from Tulsa to Oklahoma City.

The list below indicates each Service/Travel Plaza (Concession) along Oklahoma's Turnpikes where a Howard Johnson's once operated. The year after the name of each turnpike indicates when each was opened to the motoring public.
