The part between I-35 and current I-44 was already done in 1965. A loop along current I-44 up to OK 66, then east to I-35 again, was a planned extension of I-240, for a total of 31.76 miles but was rejected in favour of the current designation.
Major destinations along the route include Crossroads Mall, the suburb of Moore, and the heavily populated Southside of Oklahoma City.
Interstate 26 (abbreviated I-26) is an interstate highway in the southeastern United States.
The section from Asheville to Colonial Heights was opened in September 2003, and included half of Interstate 181 from Colonial Heights to Johnson City, Tennessee, and the western half of Interstate240 in Asheville.
Oddly, the part that it shares with I-240 has not had the numbers changed yet, as of September 2004, a year after the opening, although most of the markers now indicate I-26 instead of I-240.
