The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority: On a Quest to Build the 11th Wonder of the Sooner State (Traffic Edition)
Ah, Oklahoma turnpikes. Those ribbons of asphalt that whisk you across the state at breakneck speeds (well, breakneck for Oklahoma) while simultaneously separating you from your hard-earned cash via the tollbooth transaction (emotional tollbooth not included). But the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA) isn't content to rest on its laurels (or should we say, toll booths?). They've set their sights on a new horizon, a grand adventure – building the 11th turnpike!
But where, oh where, will this marvel of modern engineering take us? Here's what we know, what we don't know, and what we can only wildly speculate about with the help of slightly-less-than-reliable internet rumors.

| What City Does Oklahoma Turnpike Authority Plan On Making The 11th Turnpike |
The Known
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
- The OTA has confirmed they're planning a new turnpike. Hallelujah!
- It'll likely connect existing routes. Think of it as the missing puzzle piece in the grand Oklahoma turnpike network.
- Mum's the word on specifics. The exact location and route are still under wraps, shrouded in secrecy like the Colonel's secret blend of herbs and spices.
The Unknown
- Will it be a high-speed tollway or a leisurely scenic route? Stay tuned, folks!
- Will it come with built-in Sonic at every exit? One can only dream.
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.
The Speculative
- The "Bermuda Triangle of Tolls": This daring route will take you on a thrilling journey...and then deposit you back where you started. Fun for the whole family (except maybe the accountant).
- The "Wall-E Wasteland Turnpike": Connecting the state's most prominent landfills. Because who doesn't love a scenic view of trash mountains?
- The "Shortcut to Nowhere": This ambitious project will shave a whole 2 minutes off your travel time...if the stars align and there's no construction.
Stay Tuned!
