Two new interstate designations will be popping up in Oklahoma next month with the John Kilpatrick Turnpike being designated as Interstate 344 and the Kickapoo Turnpike being designated as Interstate 335. 

Joe Echelle, director of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority, said crews will begin installing new signage in about a month.  

The I-344/John Kilpatrick Turnpike designation will be for the entire nearly 31-mile length from State Highway 152 and continuing north and east to the Interstate 35 and Interstate 44/Turner Turnpike interchange. The I-335/Kickapoo Turnpike designation will be for the full nearly 19-mile length between I-44/Turner Turnpike and Interstate 40.
