CHEROKEE TURNPIKE

Highway Review:
The Cherokee Turnpike was completed in 1991. It is 33 miles long and has three interchanges: OK 82, Scenic U.S. 412 (old U.S. 412/OK 33) and U.S. 59/OK 10. It also has a service area near the middle of the turnpike that has the only non-McDonald's restaurant on the Oklahoma turnpike system. Instead, motorists have a Burger King to eat at.
