Interstate 444 begins at its western terminus near the Arkansas River on the southwest side of Downtown Tulsa.
It splits off from a complete interchange with Interstate 244, which is also known as the Red Fork Expressway, at exit 4B and borders the southern side of downtown.
I-444 then reaches its eastern terminus on the northeast side of downtown at another interchange with I-244, this time at exit 6B.
[2][3] The total length of I-444 is 2.51 miles long and serves Tulsa in the U.S. state of Oklahoma.
[4] Plans to enclose portions of Tulsa with interstate highways existed as early as 1957.
In 1995, further confusion between I-244 and I-444 prompted the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to convert I-444 into an unsigned route in favor of signing its concurrencies instead.
[7] In 2021, the Oklahoma House of Representatives tentatively approved a study to explore future alternatives to the Inner Dispersal Loop due to its appearance and expensive cost to maintain.
