Interstate 35 (Miles 1-106)

(Miles 1-106)

Highway Review:
Interstate 35 is the main north-south artery through the state of Oklahoma. Heading northbound after spending its first 504 miles in Texas, I-35 crosses the Red River into the Sooner State. Just past the bridge is Exit 1 for U.S. 77, which parallels or is merged with I-35 from Denton, Texas, to El Dorado, Kansas.

Interstate 35's first major town is Ardmore (pop. 23,711). Several major hotel chains and fast-food joints are located here. Ardmore is served by four exits-Exit 29 (U.S. 70 East), Exits 31A-B (U.S. 70 West/OK 199 East), Exit 32 (12th St.), and Exit 33 (OK 142).

Continuing northward from Ardmore, beginning at around Exit 47 (U.S. 77) and going through Exit 55 (OK 7) is the Arbuckle Mountains and the Turner Falls area, the most scenic area you'll find on I-35 in Oklahoma. Of course the Arbuckles are barely hills but in Oklahoma they're considered mountains! Exit 55 is also the connection to the 2-lane Chickasaw Turnpike, the most worthless turnpike in Oklahoma!

Between OK 7 and the next exit for Ruppe Rd. (Exit 60), Interstate 35 enters Garvin County. From that point to the S.E. 19th St. exit in Moore (Exit 116), almost all signs were replaced during the summer of 2004. The next exit of significance is Exit 72 for OK 19 to Pauls Valley (pop. 6256). Several fast-food places are located near this exit in the city limits.

After departing Pauls Valley I-35 continues its northerly trek to the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. Exit 106 (OK 9 West) is where the traffic begins to increase slightly as the speed limit falls from 70 mph to 60 mph, then when OK 9 exits off just past the South Canadian Bridge located between Exit 106 and the next exit (Exit 108), the freeway becomes a little busier as traffic from "Highway 9" merges on. OK 9 is a 4-lane at-grade divided highway which carries a 50 mph speed limit from I-35 east until just past the U.S. 77 exit.

To continue on Interstate 35 through the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, please see the Interstate 35 Guide @ OKC Highways page.
