Hello everyone, my name is Tom and I just joined the forum today.  I'm a fellow road enthusiast who mostly concentrates on Interstate highways.  I run my own website (http://www.crosscountryroads.com), partially inspired by AARoads.  I look forward to meeting more road enthusiasts here and having good conversations with you guys!

Your I-44 pictures in Tulsa are now historic.  All of I-44 east of US 75 is now 6 lanes except for the segment near Lewis Avenue.  Thanks for documenting the original Skelly Drive.

This scene is completely different.  The road is now 6 lanes, and the signs are Clearview and the OK 66 sign is now a meat cleaver.

This one is different too.  The Harvard interchange is now about 1/2 mile east of where it used to be, and it loops back to 51st street.  I-44/OK 66 is 6 lanes and concrete, and has an exit only lane for Harvard.  The sign also mentions 51st Street now.  It's all in Clearview, of course, with round tubular gantries.

I did see that things through the Tulsa area on I-44 were getting quite an overhaul last time I was through there, but that was well over a year ago and the construction was still pretty heavy so I wasn't able to get much of an idea of exactly what they were trying to do.  I really wish I could get out there and see the new I-44 through Tulsa!
