Interstate 444 (I-444) is an unsigned auxiliary route of the Interstate Highway System, with both ends at I-244 in downtown Tulsa in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It makes up the eastern and southern sections on the square-shaped Inner Dispersal Loop.

It is signed as US-75, with the first half of the highway also being signed as US-64 and State Highway 51 (SH-51).

History[]

I-244 and I-444 initially used exit numbers in the 90s range, based on the mile markers for I-44 in the Tulsa area and where they diverged. I-444 had four exits that were numbered 94A–94D until the highway designation became unsigned in 1995.^[2] The exit numbers were removed, leaving only the letter suffixes, before later becoming unmarked.^[2][3]

Exit numbers and mileposts no longer exist (see #History section above for explanation of exit numbers). The entire route is in Tulsa, Tulsa County.
