Title: Where does the Creek Turnpike end?
Post by: bugo on June 07, 2013, 07:37:50 PM
Where does the Creek Turnpike become the Will Rogers Turnpike and vice versa?  Is it at the point where I-44 enters/exits the mainline?  Is it the middle of the US 412 bridge?  Is it north of US 412 at the point where the freeway joins the original alignment?  Is it 3/4 mile south of the US 412 bridge?  Here's the evidence:

3/4 of a mile south of  US 412, the pavement changes and signs appear that say "END WILL ROGERS TURNPIKE MAINTENANCE BEGIN CREEK TURNPIKE MAINTENANCE".

The signage on US 412 indicates that the turnpikes end near the interchange.

There is (was?) a sign on Pine pointing to the Creek Turnpike east onramp.

So which is it?  Officially it is 3/4 mile south of US 412, but signage shows that it goes as far north as the curve on I-44 where the abandoned section continues to the southwest.  Typical for OTA, it's a clusterfuck.

On Wikipedia I treat the terminus as being the 44/412 interchange. For any practical purpose that's where it ends, since north of there is I-44, which is the Will Rogers Turnpike. Of course the Creek exit numbers continue on to Pine Street, but that's just run of the mill OTA lunacy, not anything meaningful.

Bipping is not cool.  Pibbing is cool.

Bipping bips, and pibbing pibs. Mishes pib as long as facts are found. Gum chewing also pibs.
