What is cimmaron turnpike?

The Cimarron Turnpike is a 67-mile long toll road in the state of Oklahoma, United States. It connects the cities of Tulsa and Enid via the communities of Sapulpa, Kellyville, Bristow, Drumright, and Yale. The turnpike is a four-lane divided highway with two lanes in each direction and a median strip.

The toll road was opened in phases between 1967 and 1975, and it was originally planned to be a part of a statewide turnpike system. It is operated by the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority and requires an electronic toll tag, cash, or a billing statement to pay the tolls. The toll rates are based on the distance traveled, and the road has frequent exits and rest areas for travelers.

The Cimarron Turnpike provides a faster and more convenient route for commuters, travelers, and truckers who need to travel between Tulsa and Enid. It also helps to reduce traffic congestion, accidents, and wear and tear on local roads. However, some residents and businesses in the communities along the turnpike have expressed concerns over the toll costs, noise pollution, and safety issues.
