'''Interstate&nbsp;244''' ('''I-244'''), also known as the '''Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Expressway''' (in honor of [[Martin Luther King Jr.]]) [[List of streets named after Martin Luther King Jr.#Oklahoma|since 1984]], the '''Crosstown Expressway''', and the '''Red Fork Expressway''', is a {{convert|15.8|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} east–west [[Interstate Highway]] bypass route of [[Interstate 44 in Oklahoma|I-44]] around [[Tulsa, Oklahoma]].

At both I-244's western and eastern terminus, the highway connects with I-44. I-244 runs from the western bank of the [[Arkansas River]], across the river and past downtown Tulsa, before running through the northern half of the city and connecting again with I-44.

In downtown Tulsa, I-244 forms the northern and western legs of the "Inner Dispersal Loop". The southern and eastern legs are formed by the [[Unsigned highway|unsigned]] [[Interstate 444|I-444]] (signed as [[U.S. Route 75 in Oklahoma|U.S. Highway&nbsp;75]] (US-75)).
