[edit] Route description
SH-36 begins at Exit 1 on Interstate 44 and heads northward to meet U.S. Route 70, which it then duplexes with headed westbound for 9 miles (14.4 km) before splitting off near Grandfield. It heads north from there for 9 more miles, has a 2 mile (3.2 km) duplex with State Highway 5, after which it turns to the northeast to pass through Chattanooga and Faxon before ending at I-44 six miles south of Lawton.
- Exit 1, the first (or last) exit from I-44 in Oklahoma, is for SH-36.
- The last free exit on I-44 when headed southbound from Lawton is for SH-36, which marks the beginning of the southern portion of the H.E. Bailey Turnpike, which consists of two sections between Oklahoma City and the Red River north of Wichita Falls, Texas. The two sections of the turnpike are linked by the 16-mile Pioneer Expressway, a toll-free section of I-44 through the Lawton/Fort Sill area.
