Interstate 44: Tulsa, Oklahoma to Joplin, Missouri | Drive America's Highways [Repost/Remaster]

Travel 110 miles along Interstate 44 from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Joplin, Missouri, following a key section of the Will Rogers Turnpike. This drive begins in northeast Tulsa at the interchange with Interstate 244, where I-44 heads northeast toward Catoosa. Shortly after leaving the city, the highway crosses the Verdigris River and passes through Claremore, serving as a primary corridor for both regional and long-distance traffic. From Claremore, I-44 continues northeast through rolling countryside, intersecting major routes such as OK-20, OK-28, and U.S. Highway 69 before reaching the Vinita Service Area. This classic mid-century Route 66 stop, built directly over the turnpike, offers food, fuel, and a unique over-the-road view of traffic below. Past Vinita, the route veers north toward Miami, Oklahoma, and approaches the tri-state area. At the Oklahoma-Missouri line, the tollway ends, and I-44 transitions to a free interstate for the short remaining stretch into Joplin. The drive concludes at the interchange with Interstate 49 northbound, a gateway to Kansas City and the broader Midwest. This segment of I-44 blends the turnpike’s smooth, high-speed travel with glimpses of small-town Oklahoma and Missouri. Long, open stretches are paired with historic highway connections, making it both an efficient route for through traffic and an interesting drive for those exploring America’s heartland. --- 🎵 Music: https://interstate411.us/music/i44-tu... ------------- ❤ If you liked this video, please help us out and click the share button to share it with all your friends. 🦸‍♂️ Express Lane Members: YouTube Members @raytorvalds3699 @TBKS1 @good_88 @SamuelBrown731 @maximilianzwicker1340 @heatherjensen5421 @kambound28 @MichaelTrexel-nz5gk Interstate411.us Members @pauljardis942 @lukehawk2 ------------- 📹 Subscribe here (it's free!) https://tinyurl.com/y6fuhhta ✉ Get notified by email of new videos: https://tinyurl.com/i411news 💵 Join the Express Lane to get access to 4K/Real-Time videos, Ad-Free videos, and more! ⇨ Join at Interstate411.us: https://tinyurl.com/i411express ⇨ Join at YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/i411ytjoin ⇨ Join at Patreon: https://tinyurl.com/I411patreon Follow us: Website: https://interstate411.us Facebook:   / interstate411
