I-44 End to End: States, Miles and Mile Markers

Measured state by state, I-44 runs 636 miles west to east from Wichita Falls, Texas to St. Louis, Missouri, crossing 3 states. Its longest stretch is 329 miles across Oklahoma; its shortest is 16 miles in Texas.

State Miles Share Cities and mile markers
Texas 16 3% Wichita Falls 15
Oklahoma 329 52% Lawton 38 · Oklahoma City 119 · Tulsa 225
Missouri 291 46% Joplin 8 · Springfield 79 · Saint Louis 291

Mile markers count from each state's western line and start again at the next one, which is how most states number their exits as well. They are measured along the same road geometry these pages draw, so they land within a mile or two of the posted markers. A toll road that runs its own continuous numbering is the exception — on the New York Thruway the posts continue from New York City — and there the figure is how far into the state the place is rather than the number on the sign. Distances are measured state by state, never across a gap. Texas carries too little of the road for a page of its own — under the 25 miles that separate two markers on the map above — so it is named without a link.

Snow and Ice Reports on I-44

Winter reporting is off for the season. The state DOT feeds this page reads for Missouri run from October 15 to April 15; outside that window they change only as needed. Our own forecast below runs year-round.

Reports for Missouri come from each state's DOT, entered by maintenance staff and describing what is on the pavement, not the forecast; the state pages carry each DOT's terms and notices. No DOT winter report is read here yet for Texas and Oklahoma. Always check with the responsible state DOT before setting off.
