I will be taking I-44 from St. Louis all the way to Tulsa. At that point, google maps has me going Hwy 75 (4 lane toll road) to Hwy 69 South to Atoka, then continuing on Hwy 69/75 all the way to my overnight stop in Plano, TX. Those roads good/ok?

Texas
From Plano, I plan to continue on 75 south to I-35 - all ok (construction/closures and such?)

Thanks,

Tim, a more direct route through OK is to get off I44 at Big Cabin and take US69 down to Atoka where it meets US 75. That's the way I went when I used to drive to Gateway. You will avoid Tulsa that way. All OK roads are bad so no risk there

You can expect construction on I35 south of Dallas and north of Austin all the time. As Gary says, five of us (four trailers, one Cobra) will be leaving McKinney/Dallas about the same time you leave Plano. Our fuel stop is the Flying J Truck Stop in Waco at I35 and New Road. Pull through pumps for the rigs and a restaurant if you are hungry. If you start out full in Plano, that stop will be all you will need to get to San Marcos.

North of Austin, at Georgetown, look at the TX130 toll road loop which by-passes Austin altogether and puts you back on I35 just 20 mi north of San Marcos. Expensive, $14 last time I took it for a 4 axle vehicle. But no traffic.
