The Muskogee Turnpike is a toll road in eastern Oklahoma. Opened in 1969, the 53-mile (85.2 km) route begins at the Broken Arrow Expressway (SH-51) southeast of Tulsa, near an intersection with the Creek Turnpike. The Turnpike ends at Interstate 40 west of Webbers Falls.

A two-axle vehicle currently pays $2.50 ($2.40 with Pikepass) to drive the full length of the Turnpike. To permit movement of local traffic in the city of Muskogee, the section between US-62 and SH-165 is designated a free expressway.

Law enforcement along the Will Rogers Turnpike is provided by Oklahoma Highway Patrol Troop XB, a special troop assigned to the turnpike.[1]
