Interstate 40 turns back to the east from the Sayre area to next reach Elk City. The freeway and Historic U.S. 66 separate at a wye interchange (Exit 32) well west of the city. Business Loop I-40 commences a 9.5 mile long route from there along a four lane, divided highway east to Oklahoma State Highway 6. SH 6 joins the business route east as Historic U.S. 66 transitions into a commercial arterial along 3rd Street through west Elk City.

Business Loop I-40, Historic U.S. 66/SH 6 enter Downtown Elk City and split at Main Street. SH 6 leads south to I-40 at Exit 38 while the business route turns north on Van Buren Avenue. One final turn takes Business Loop I-40 east at Country Club Boulevard and Elk City Regional Business Airport (ELK) for a divided highway leading back to Interstate 40. The freeway overtakes the old alignment of U.S. 66 east from the wye interchange (Exit 41) to Canute.
